Say Hi to Your Personal Genius: Prof. Einstein
CES 2017 has given a few hints that the future of robotic technology and increasingly intelligent home assistants are brilliant. Einstein Robot, introduced to this fair and collecting funds in Kickstarter a few days ago, aims to educate and entertain people.
Having the ability to walk, speak, and react with realistic face expressions, the Einstein Robot was developed by Hanson Robotics and undertook a task capable of being a trainer in basic science subjects, while at the same time being able to make jokes.
The founder and CEO of the company, David Hanson, says for Einstein Robotics and human relationships:
"Making artificial intelligence very intelligent and providing good relationships with people, plus putting it in a human-like form, means that we can teach him much more about humanity. The Einstein Robot can discover the world in a physical and social sense, as a baby does, and learn from people. "
The Einstein Robot can work both online and offline, as well as communicate with mobile platforms!
Einstein Robot can communicate with the user while in both online and offline mode, communicating the application that provides visual and auditory activities to children named Stein-O-Matic via Apple and Android tablets.
When it comes to WiFi connectivity to switch to online mode, it uses natural language processing and artificial intelligence capabilities to answer questions directed to it. The company that develops the robot can also get support from open source APIs instead of voice recognition, allowing the Einstein Robot to do weather reporting and calendar management.
Professor Einstein has up to 50 realistic gestures and idioms!
Albert Einstein, a robot developer who makes a lot of effort to simulate the robot's image of the camera from the camera placed in the chest position, known as "blob detection" by means of image processing techniques to talk to the person in the communication leads.
A robot with many gestures and mimics like this, including Einstein's most well-known mimic, stick out tongue, needs to be controlled by 9 motors to make these movements in balance. Because the charged batteries can work, a single charge can easily be used for 3-4 hours.
According to research conducted at Yale University about "conceptual gains", people love to communicate with robots that they can get physical reaction. Hanson Robotics CTO Rikin said the company's focus was on robots like the Einstein Robot "Emotional faces; Do not learn, do not think, and it brings the question to a more open point. "
The Einstein Robot, originally thought to be developed exclusively for children and parents, is actually appealing to everyone because of its many features found in other virtual assistants. Google Home, Amazon Alexa, etc. Einstein Robot seems to be the pioneer of a new advancement for smart toys if it is thought that voice assisted digital assistants like human beings and machines make the interaction more common.
775,000 Hong Kong dollar Kickstarter can be reached at an early order price of $ 269 through the Einstein Robotics platform, which achieved only three days of reaching the campaign goal in just a few days. The robot is expected to be offered in general sales at a price of $ 299 as of April.
