JIBO: The First at Home Robot is Here

Remember Rosie the robot on the Jetson’s, R2D2 in Star Wars? Well now you too can have your very own Rosie, but this robot is called Jibo, a blending Humanity with technology!

CelebNMusic247.com has your first look at the new Jibo, who is your new home addition that will become part of your family and take us one step into the future as “the world’s first family robot,” called Jibo.

Cynthia Breazeal, an MIT professor and one of the pioneers of social robotics, is the mastermind behind the world first at home robot. Jibo is an all-white desktop-sitting robot has more than a passing resemblance to a certain robot from a recent animated Pixar movie.

Kind of like the robot in WALL-E, Jibo takes photos, keeps you connected to emails, family, and more such as telling stories to kids, automatically taking photos when you pose, easy messaging and video calling, providing reminders for calendar entries, and companionship through emotional interaction.
The robot, which will cost around $500 when it’s released, will have a range of abilities that will hopefully make it the perfect companion to have around the house

Jibo is about 11 inches (28cm) tall, with a 6-inch base. He (yes, it’s a he) weighs around six pounds (2.7kg) and is mostly made of aluminium and white plastic. Jibo’s face mainly consists of a 5.7-inch 1980×1080 touchscreen, but there’s a couple of stereo cameras, stereo speakers, and stereo microphones hidden away in there too. Jibo’s body is separated into three regions, all of which can be motor-driven through 360 degrees — and it’s all fully touch sensitive, too, so you can interact by patting him on the head, poking his belly, etc.
