Have you ever imagined that you could have a robot friend with you around you?

Have you ever imagined that you could have a robot friend who would be there to make you happy and work for you? You might say, "It's enough with Siri," but it's not enough. Today, I'd like to introduce you to an "entertainment social Robot Helper", a blabdroid robot that can be said to move in a cardboard box.

The robot has a built-in high-definition camera and speakers that can be used to identify faces and videos while speaking, and to communicate with other people in a robot-built statement.

The biggest feature is its considerable scalability, blabdroid built-in Bluetooth, and the ability to connect to smartphones and tablets to get more functionality in the application. Blabdroid platform Open source, users can develop their own applications, for the blabdroid robot to provide more personalized functions, can act as a "small valet", to help users do more things.

The voice built into the blabdroid robot is a 7-year-old American Little boy's voice, so it sounds very cute. Blabdroid, a collaborating developer at MIT's computer scientist Joseph Weizenbaum, believes people are very interested in the emotional character of computer personalization and artificial intelligence, and people prefer to talk to robots with personalities and emotions. By contrast, Siri and Google now look very inflexible.

But there are still some flaws in blabdroid, such as still not smart enough. Users need to click on the button on the robot to talk to it, but this problem can be solved by other applications.

Blabdroid not only can say, but also move, small carton body below is a walking wheel, the user can use the corresponding application to control. Camera + remote operation, blabdroid can also be used as a monitoring robot.

Blabdroid's developers have used it to complete a documentary film, which has been well received at major film festivals because it has made people see that the interaction between robots and people is no longer as rigid as it used to be, but more friendly and cordial.

It is worth mentioning that the price of blabdroid is also very close to the people, the minimum as long as 75 dollars (but can not walk), is currently in the public offering platform Kickstarter fund-raising.
