Educational robotics have already emerged as one of the most prevalent trends at this year’s CES. I’ve seen pitches from dozens of them so far, and the show only officially opened two hours ago. The Root is definitely one of the most interesting of the bunch, a product spun out of Harvard’s Wyss Lab that’s been on our radar for a while now.

The startup was on-hand at CES this week, showing off the final shipping model for the first time. The consumer version of the product offers a few subtle tweaks from the prototype the company’s been showing off for a while now, including a small white board eraser built into the bottom of the robot.
