JIBO, The World's First Family Robot

Post by Fraggboy »

I just per-ordered the Developer Edition of JIBO from indegogo. If you aren't familiar with indegogo, it's a crowd funding website.

Their initial goal was for $100,000. It took a mere 4 hours to reach it. This is a huge breakthrough in home robotics!!

It's going to be a while before they ship out the Developer Edition Q3 2015. Public release will be early 2016.

Yes, but if they deliver the robot, it will be in it's own class. The first Family Robot!!

Looking at its promised capabilities, it does what a number of phone apps do, with various degrees of success (or mostly lack thereof).

So, it's a $600 phone app, with unproven track record and without the phone. What's the point of it, really?

So now that you have a Jibo what do you think? Is it what you expected? Is team Jibo updating it regularly? I got a Indiegogo campaign Moorebot but they have not updated software in over a year.
