WANA (Jan 30) – Providing engaging, educational entertainment for children is crucial yet often overlooked. Iran’s tech-driven companies are changing this by integrating AI and robotics into toys and amusement parks, fostering creativity and learning. One leading Iranian startup has combined expertise in robotics, mechanics, and AI to create the country’s first robotic amusement parks. These parks merge entertainment with education, using AI-powered games to develop cognitive and teamwork skills.

 

From University Research to Innovation

Founded by Amirkabir University graduates, the company first launched ‘Sami,’ a humanoid robot. Expanding from there, they developed interactive smart games and now operate multiple robotic theme parks in Tehran and Ahvaz.

 

During COVID-19, the company introduced AI-driven educational toys, teaching children languages, math, and memory skills. With only two global counterparts in the U.S. and India, these app-based toys are continuously evolving.

 

A Unique Gaming Experience

Unlike traditional parks, RoboKids integrates digital and physical play. For instance, in AI-enhanced rock climbing, children earn points by interacting with dynamic light projections, making learning more engaging.

 

Iran lacks domestic robotic amusement parks, making RoboKids a pioneering concept. The company supports investors in launching new branches, providing full operational assistance.

 

Future Prospects

By manufacturing its own amusement park equipment, RoboKids reduces reliance on imports and has the potential for Middle Eastern exports. The Innovation and Prosperity Fund has been instrumental in supporting its growth and international exposure.

 

As Iran advances in AI-driven entertainment, it is positioning itself as a leader in smart amusement, with the potential to redefine children’s learning experiences globally.
