If you ever wished someone invented a robot that could accompany you while you're at work, well, there's one now
Meet the OBBOTO Glowbot, a miniature AI-powered 360° sphere.
This cute robot doubles as a decorative tech companion on your desk, boasting over 2,900 individually addressable pixels.
According to Yanko Design, the gadget combines AI with emotional intelligence, making traditional smart speakers seem rather unexpressive by comparison.
Despite its small size, the OBBOTO Glowbot is able to convey a myriad of emotions in response to yours
Its unique "infinity emoji" feature allows the sphere to transform into a reactive face, displaying a wide spectrum of feelings.
This creates a surprisingly effective illusion of companionship, giving it an almost pet-like quality without the need for feeding or walks.
The sphere's expressions dynamically adjust based on interactions, the time of day, and ambient environmental conditions.
The Glowbot is able to learn your habits and preferences and develop a distinct digital personality that suits your personality and moods
Equipped with an impressive array of sensors, including motion, brightness, and tap detection, the Glowbot maintains constant awareness of its surroundings.
Rather than relying on intrusive voice responses, it communicates through its presence, fostering a companionable atmosphere without demanding constant conversational engagement.
The OBBOTO Glowbot is currently going for USD249 (RM1,055) on Kickstarter.
