This paper presents a customized programmable robotic system, TanTwin (Tangible Twin), designed to promote STEM education for K-12 children. Firstly, TanTwin is implemented based on a wheel-robot with standard LEGO bricks. With several deep neural networks, a child can convert a captured portrait of himself/herself into standard LEGO bricks, therefore he/she can build a tangible twin robot of him-...
