Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about setting up, coding, and teaching with Quarky Intellio.

Quarky Intellio adds an onboard HD camera module, dual microphones, a stereo speaker, and an upgraded ESP32-S3 processor with vector instructions. This enables on-device computer vision, machine learning inference, augmented reality marker tracking, and live Wi-Fi video streaming that are not possible with the standard Quarky controller.

No. All neural network inference runs directly on the Intellio hardware (edge AI). Internet is only required for the initial software download and for optional cloud-based IoT dashboards. Once code is uploaded, the robot operates fully offline.

Yes! The chassis features standardized LEGO Technic mounting holes, and the expansion headers are Arduino shield compatible. You can attach standard LEGO beams, gears, and wheels, or stack Arduino sensors and shields to extend functionality.

Intellio supports three coding modes: Junior Blocks (icon-based, ages 6–8), Scratch 3.0 block coding (ages 8–12), and MicroPython text coding with OpenCV bindings (ages 11+). Machine learning model training is done through a visual in-browser interface.

Absolutely. All video processing happens locally on the device — no images are uploaded to any server. The camera can be physically disabled via a hardware switch, and there is a built-in LED indicator that illuminates whenever the camera is active.
