It is special because it explains difficult concepts instead of just giving answers. The robot scans homework questions using a built-in camera. It then searches for the best solutions from its database or the Internet. It can solve math problems, check grammar in essays, and even suggest science experiment ideas. Its unique feature is a “Learn Mode” that teaches step-by-step methods. First, place your homework under the robot’s camera. Press the “Scan” button and wait for the analysis. Choose “Solve” for quick answers or “Teach Me” for explanations. The robot speaks and displays answers on a small screen. Recharge it nightly via USB. 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
