Start your adventur e today

Click on the Indiegogo button on the Alpha 2 site (www.ubtrobot.com/en) to snap up a Classic Robot Supporter package for $699 (£469).

When your Alpha 2 arrives, charge its battery, connect the robot to Wi-Fi and download some VAPPs. Thanks to faceand voice-recognition tech, the Alpha 2 will start learning about you, and respond to your questions and commands.

The Alpha 2 can play music, dance around, control smart lights, read recipes and more. Whatever it learns is backed up to the cloud, so if the robot dies you can download its ‘soul’ to a new Alpha unit.
