3. There are three main modes for the Romo Robot: control, train, and program, each targeted at a different age group and requiring a different skill set. Kids aged 8 or 9 will be able to control the Romo robot by using a second iOS device to drive, view live images from the rear-facing camera and snap pictures. The Romo also uses the front facing camera to detect faces and move accordingly, like backing up if you get too close or turning to maintain eye contact.
