L2M-An AI-powered interactive educational robot that engages learners at the young age through natural conversation, personalized instruction, and hands-on activities, adapting its teaching style to each child’s needs.

This project focuses on developing an innovative, smart, interactive toy robot for children aged 3 to 8. The robot combines emotional intelligence, educational content, and safety monitoring to provide a healthier alternative to mobile device usage. It serves as a companion that can recognize a child’s mood, offer adaptive learning activities, and detect environmental hazards such as fire, smoke, or toxic gases.
By integrating AI-based emotion recognition, interactive games, and parent–child communication features, this project aims to address the lack of multifunctional, development-oriented smart toys in the market. The outcome will include a validated product concept, a market analysis, and a commercialization strategy tailored to the Canadian smart toy industry. This work will support child well-being, enhance family safety, and contribute to Canada’s growing innovation ecosystem.
