Menlo Park, CA -- (SBWire) -- 10/12/2015 --AI or Artificial Intelligence is one of the fastest-growing fields of technology research.  AI Brain and Bonavision, the creators of TYCHE, a true AI companion for children, have launched a Kickstarter campaign to raise funds for the production and distribution of new products based on this technology.

TYCHE is an AI robot companion for children. It creates an atmosphere that promotes learning, socializing, and playing as it enhances the imagination and creativity of young minds.  The robot talks, listens, thinks and reasons to plan activities and solve problems.  With five downloadable Android applications, it is easy to customize the device to individual children's needs. The robot uses face tracking, ball tracking and marker tracking to follow and keep the child in view, and can respond to commands.  The robot assembles by touch simple actions such as speech, sound, motion and music to create intelligent behaviors, and uses visual programming capabilities such as object and facial detection and recognition and expression as well as verbal programming to "learn" responses to commands.  For more information, see the TYCHE website at http://www.tyche.club

TYCHE, pronounced "Tai-Kee" and named for the Greek goddess of fortune, has received outstanding reviews from major technology publications and experts.  "This little robot is apparently the most intelligent smartphone robot in the world," says The Guardian, at  http://www.theguardian.com/technology/2014/jan/09/bizarre-robotics-ces-2014, while Robotics Trends lists TYCHE as one of the 10 Best Robots of CES for 2014 at http://www.roboticstrends.com/photo/10_best_robots_of_ces_2014/5
