Reported by journalist Li Qiao-zhi / Taipei. With over 25 years of deep involvement in AI robotics education based on technology education, KK Intelligent Technology Inc. is a leading player in intelligent technology and robotics development. The company has been a key supporter behind many large domestic and international robotics competitions, providing a range of services that include teaching platforms and product support, catering to students from elementary school through graduate studies. Its solid foundation and extensive experience have earned it the title of "quiet champion." The recently launched "MATRIX R4 Robotics Kit" (MA300) is an educational controller developed in collaboration with the globally popular open-source platform Arduino.
In addition to being the distributor for "LEGO Education," KK Intelligent Technology Inc. offers a range of core products, including robotics kits and systems (MATRIX Robotics), educational robots, industrial automation solutions, and smart home devices. The company actively participates in and supports various international robotics education competitions, including FIRST (FLL, FTC, FRC), the World Robotics Olympiad (WRO), and the WorldSkills Competition.

The newly launched product uses the globally popular Arduino UNO R4 WiFi controller, making teaching easier without complicated wiring," said Johnson Zhen, Chairman of KK Intelligent Technology Inc. He noted that Arduino is the world's largest developer brand, with over 30 million users worldwide. Its most well-known feature is the ease of programming, supported by a range of online tutorials and libraries that simplify controlling various sensors. Even those without prior programming training can quickly get started. It is an excellent tool for smart learning and robotics challenges. Therefore, it not only has the potential to become a standard equipment choice for World Skills and WRO competitors but also serves as a solution for AI robotics education, with significant potential for applications in IoT connectivity.

Johnson Jan emphasized that KK Intelligent Technology Inc. has been deeply involved in AI robotics education for many years and has long collaborated with the Ministry of Labor to nurture talent. Through the KK Intelligent MATRIX AI training program, even those without a professional background can quickly get started. Additionally, the "MATRIXblock," developed exclusively by KK Intelligent, is compatible with both visual programming software and C language, making it easier for more people to enter the field of AI robotics. This is a key reason why the MATRIX AI robot was chosen as the exclusive robot equipment for the Robotics Skills Competition.
The collaboration between KK Intelligent and Arduino goes beyond new product development; it focuses on cultivating global ICT talent. Their joint initiative, the MARC Alliance," aims to transform AI robotics into a competitive sport, allowing children to ignite their interest in learning through AI robotics competitions and ultimately develop their AI skills.
Johnson Jan stated that the MATRIX R4 is expected to appear in more international robotics competitions and educational settings across various schools. KK Intelligent Technology Inc. will also actively collaborate with the government and businesses from different sectors to enhance AI literacy among the younger generation, strengthening Taiwan's soft power in robotics education!
