KIDZ AI Secures New Financing to Advance KIDZBot Physical AI Robotics Ecosystem
Sep 18, 2026
New York, NY, United States, September 18, 2026 --
- Establishes dedicated robotics subsidiary, Classover Robix Inc., to build a full robotics ecosystem spanning proprietary software, curriculum, teacher training, and multi-OEM hardware partnerships.
- Beginning to engage with nationwide high school networks, addressing a potential U.S. market of 16 million students
- Selected to present on "From AI Tools to Outcome-Driven Learning Systems" at the 2026 AI in Education Conference this December
The net proceeds are expected to support the expansion of manufacturing capacity and commercial deployment of KIDZBot, the Company's proprietary Physical AI educational robotics platform, as well as the continued expansion of its broader ecosystem, following its unveiling and recognition as a finalist at the 2026 EdTechX Awards.
Alongside the Financing, KIDZ AI announced the formation of Classover Robix Inc., a dedicated operating subsidiary focused on embodied AI hardware development, OEM partnerships, and institutional campus distribution.
Building the KIDZBot Education Ecosystem:
- KIDZBot Application (Android Completed, iOS in Development): The Company has developed two dedicated applications, Kidzqbot and Kidzbricks, supporting its robotics and Physical AI education initiatives. The Android versions of both applications are currently operational, while the iOS versions are under development. Both applications provide visual block coding, ROS interfaces, and AI-powered learning and experimentation.
- Proprietary Curriculum: The Company is developing a KIDZBot curriculum focused on robotics, coding, hands-on learning, and practical applications of Physical AI.
- Educator Training: The Company is also developing training and onboarding materials to help educators introduce KIDZBot and robotics-based learning in classroom settings.
Exploring Broader Hardware Partnerships:
- Through Classover Robix Inc., the Company intends to explore OEM/ODM partnerships with robotics hardware manufacturers and technology developers to expand its robotics portfolio.
- Potential areas include humanoid robots, robotic arms, quadruped robots, and wheeled autonomous platforms that could complement the Company's software and educational programs.
Engaging Existing Users and Educational Networks:
- The Company has begun introducing KIDZBot to its registered users, providing an initial channel to engage students and families interested in robotics and Physical AI education.
- The Company has also begun engaging with educational partners and multi-state high school networks to explore potential opportunities for classroom and institutional deployment of KIDZBot.
According to official data from the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES), the United States has more than 27,000 public and private secondary schools, serving more than 16 million high school students. As schools continue to expand hands-on STEM and AI education, there is growing interest in accessible robotics platforms that can be used in classroom settings. KIDZBot is being developed as a hardware and software platform designed to support robotics, coding, and hands-on Physical AI learning for secondary students.
Academic Recognition & Conference Presentation
The Company also announced that its presentation proposal, titled "From AI Tools to Outcome-Driven Learning Systems," has been accepted for presentation at the 2026 AI in Education Conference, scheduled to take place in December 2026. Selected for the conference's Poster Session, KIDZ AI will present its work on integrating Physical AI and outcome-driven learning approaches into hands-on educational experiences.
"Securing this $1.9 million of additional financing and establishing Classover Robix Inc. represents an important step in the Company's continued development," said Stephanie Luo, CEO of KIDZ AI. "We are focused on building a practical robotics education ecosystem around KIDZBot, combining hardware, software, curriculum, and educator support. With our Android application fully operational and the iOS version currently in development, we are continuing to expand the KIDZBot platform. Together with our registered user base, ongoing discussions with educational networks, and broader robotics development efforts, we see opportunities to bring hands-on Physical AI learning to more students and schools."
Additional details regarding the terms of the Senior Secured Convertible Note were provided in the Company's Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on September 17, 2026.

Securing equipment emerges as new variable for Korea's chip expansion plans
Securing equipment for manufacturing advanced memory chips is emerging as a new variable in Korea's plans to expand semiconductor production capacity through large-scale industrial clusters, after ASML, the dominant supplier of advanced chipmaking equipment, warned that its current production plans may not be sufficient to meet demand in 2027 and 2028. During its earnings call Wednesday, ASML CEO Christophe Fouquet said the company's plans to increase its production capacity for advanced chipmaking equipment by 30 percent in 2027 and another 30 percent in 2028 would likely not be enough to meet customer demand. “Last quarter, we talked about 30 percent more capacity next year, and also the aspiration to have another 30 percent increase in 2028,” Fouquet said. “But to be honest, it's becoming very clear that 30 percent in 2027, 30 percent in 2028 will not allow us to meet our customer demand.” According to the company, the planned capacity increases cover both low-numerical-aperture extreme ultraviolet (low-NA EUV) lithography equipment and deep ultraviolet (DUV) immersion system

Fifteen Japanese fashion brands available on the platform, including Snidel and Grancy, are participating in the event. The pop-up’s concept, ZOZO is Coming to Town, draws inspiration from Korean streets. Crosswalks, road markings and oversized three-dimensional typography have been incorporated into the space to create the impression of an intersection where Korean and Japanese fashion meet. The pop-up follows the signing of a memorandum of understanding between the two platforms in December 2024 to establish a strategic partnership. In November last y
