Meet Beo

Expressive, charismatic and made to be around people

Beo combines speech, movement, facial expressions and artificial intelligence to interact naturally with children and adults.

Expressive and charismatic

OLED-screen eyes, high-quality voice and smooth movements that build empathy and spark interest.

Easy to use

Simple day-to-day operation and a web interface to create and edit content, no coding required.

Works with other technologies

Web API, Bluetooth and ROS support for those who want to go further.

Your data stays protected

Camera images and microphone audio are not stored remotely.

Fully customizable

3D-printed parts let you change colors and even dress Beo up as your brand's mascot.

Hardware and software, one team

The app is developed by the same team that builds the robot, so updates and support come straight from the source.

Clinical validation

Preliminary evidence in a real clinical setting

Beo was developed with funding from FINEP, Brazil's innovation agency, and is undergoing clinical validation in partnership with the Federal University of Tocantins (UFT).

About us

Qiron Robotics

Qiron was founded by two robotics researchers who wanted to take what they built in the lab out into society. Today our team brings together engineering, design, entrepreneurship and marketing, and Beo is developed with the support of health and education professionals, who bring their experience from therapy sessions and classrooms into the project. Everyone shares one purpose: using robotics to bring people closer.

We focus on education and mental health support, with robots that interact in a natural, expressive way and connect to other tools through APIs.

We build everything end to end: hardware, software, scripts and team training. That is how we adapt Beo to each project and offer direct support, with no middlemen.
