“And if the technology to effectively treat her like a human being? And if the technology the close of loved ones? And if the technology would help as a partner rather than just a tool? This is what it comes to the Jibo “. This is how Cynthia Breazeal, researcher in the field of social robotics, speaks of the little robot in a video presentation created for the crowdfunding campaign that is now available from the project website.
Unlike many of their peers, the Jibo not walk by itself is not able to move objects, but can be placed on any surface and runs on the base itself to follow the different family members with whom they interact.
And for what? To take pictures, shoot, do the summary of messages received or recall tasks on schedule. This miniature personal assistant can also become a storyteller or a minienciclopédia for the younger ones.
Above all Jibo promises to recognize each of the family members and learn their preferences, managing to respond to routines day to day as if he were a member of that family.
After having exhausted the units that could be booked from the campaign on Indiegogo, the Jibo will now be able to be ordered by most stakeholders. The new deliveries should start from next winter and the set of covered markets are the United States (the country of origin of the project) and the countries of the European Union, among others.
