For Dr Cynthia Breazeal,it's just about time to celebrate. The robotics researcher and professor was just getting ready to throw a party when The Huffington Post spoke with her yesterday,only hours after she and her team attracted international attention with the first appearance of Jibo,the world's first family robot.
Jibo,which stands just under a foot tall,can see,hear,speak,learn,help and relate. It can take pictures,track faces,recognize where sound is coming from and—ideally―help organize and simplify your life.
On Wednesday,Jibo began its crowdfunding (民間集資) campaign on Indie-gogo. The bot is selling for $ 499 to consumers and $ 599 to developers. Accord?ing to Breazeal,the crowdfunding approach is their way of getting feedback on the prototype (模型) from the most interested community of bot-enthusiasts out there.
The bot has a creative design that gives it something between a human and desk lamp appearance. Its midsection and "head" can turn,which helps it show tHe difference between "awake" and "asleep". Even in its prototype stage,Jibo dances? introduces itself,listens to voice commands and displays images on its 5. 7 inch touchscreen LCD display.
"For a social robot it brings together a set of expertise that is not typical?" Breazeal said. Jibo is able to look around the room and change the focus of your camera. Breazeal plans to incorporate Bluetooth and a cloud-based update system― both things that didn't exist just a decade ago.
When you take Jibo home,it will guide you through connecting to a Wi-Fi net?work and will take specific steps to learn more about you. The first thing it does is register your face and voice,asking you a few questions and explaining how it can help you.
