JIBO: The Family Robot

Nowadays, personal AI’s in your smartphone help with making appointments, adding events to your calendar…etc.

But none of them are truly social. That’s where JIBO comes in. The world’s first family robot, JIBO brings intelligence and helpfulness with heart to the home. Developed by MIT Media Lab researcher and Director of Personal Robots Group, Cynthia Breazeal, JIBO stands 11 inches tall and using a 3-axis motor system, JIBO can twist and turn in a variety of ways.

JIBO can take photos, videos, and can even point its screen at a subject it’s following. It can make dinner reservations, take your calls for you, and will even tell your children bedtime stories and teach them different things with the right apps downloaded.

The days of a personal R2-D2 have never been closer, and the world has never been more excited for it.
