Chinese mech start-up takes us back to the good ol' days when robots were fun toys


The company has started working with educational institutes to modify the robots so that they can be used as a tool to teach kids the basics of coding.

While robots have been evolving to be of more use in people’s daily lives – from helping with household chores to making production lines more efficient – the founders of Shenzhen-based GJS Robot want to take us back to the days when they were purely fun, childhood toys.

GJS Robot, established in 2015, is the start-up behind app-controlled fighting bots Ganker and GEIO, which are equipped with sensors that can detect attacks and keep account of “bloods”, or the score, within the app controlling the robot.
