iRobiQ Wants To Read To Your Child
December 2nd, 2009
In early 2008, Yujin Robot debuted an improved version of their home robot iRobi, and dubbed it iRobiQ. There are the obvious changes to its appearance, which makes it resemble NEC’s PaPeRo, but iRobiQ has several other enhancements as well. Like Evolution Robotics’ ViPR vision technology.
ViPR allows iRobiQ to see and interact with people and its environment more intelligently, allowing iRobiQ to do things like recognize the page of a book, even if the child is holding it upside down and only part of it is in view. The robot can even read the book to your child if the book has already been registered on the internet server, which it connects to wirelessly.
