Powered by W-Hong LLM, EliteMind lets students take AI models and programs from digital learning into real-world sensing, reasoning and action.

SHANGHAI, Sept. 23, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- WhalesBot, a global leader in STEM and AI education, has announced EliteMind, a modular Physical AI robot designed to bring AI learning into the physical world for elementary and middle school students. With EliteMind, students can develop their own models and programs in WhalesBot's learning platform, then deploy them directly for testing and hands-on experimentation, turning digital AI projects into tangible, interactive experiences.

Powered by W-Hong LLM, WhalesBot's AI model built for STEM and AI education, EliteMind brings perception, reasoning, and physical action together in a complete Physical AI loop. It integrates intent recognition, voice interaction, visual understanding, and AI-powered creation with physical control, giving students a hands-on way to understand how AI works in the physical world. Its lightweight, modular design allows sensors and actuators to be combined across different robotic configurations, enabling students to build and explore a range of real-world AI applications.

EliteMind connects with OceanLevel, WhalesBot's AI literacy learning platform, to bridge structured AI learning and hands-on practice in the physical world. Within this system, WhalesBot OceanLevel provides age-appropriate AI courses, AI tools, model training, and programming, while EliteMind brings what students learn and build in the digital environment into the real world for practice, testing, and feedback. Together, they bring AI understanding, digital creation, and hands-on practice into one continuous learning experience.

"As AI increasingly operates in real-world systems, AI education also needs to move beyond the screen," said Xufeng Fei, CEO of WhalesBot, who has advocated for STEM and AI education for decades. "With EliteMind, we aim to support a learning journey from foundational AI literacy to hands-on practice and competition, helping students build practical AI skills step by step."

The launch of EliteMind further strengthens WhalesBot's growing portfolio of AI products powered by W-Hong LLM and adds a new physical dimension to its STEM & AI Learning Ecosystem. Looking ahead, WhalesBot will continue to develop new ways to help students move from understanding AI to building with it and applying it in the real world.
