Jibo: Family Robot (Designer inspired by Star Wars movies.)

([strike]Apologies if this has been posted before. I couldn't find a search function on the forums[/strike](Found it :whistle: ). Also I wasn't sure if this was suppose to go here or in miscellaneous. Again apologies if its in the wrong spot.)

So here is the promotional video:


And her Ted talk:


She's one of my role models. Anyways its due for a Summer 2016 release. Would you buy it? One of the main concerns or critiques I hear from people are that its creepy, or were ushering in a robot apocalypse Personally I love artificial intelligence and personal robots and its what I want to work on in the future. A more human like robot

I would totally have something like that! I can see how it would be creepy, but I know a lot of people actually find the human robots creepier than the robots that don't look anything like humans.

I would want my Jibo to control all of my hoover robots and grass cutting robots lol.

Just don't give it legs....or hands. Has anyone watched the drunk tec review on this, lol...

That is amazing! Any news on price estimates for the releases?

So far it's $600 for the home edition and $700 for the developer edition(where you can program your own skills and stuff) I plan on buying the developers kit. You can also upgrade you home edition with the sdk later for $125.

So the developers edition is the top of the line then? I looked in their website. They are no longer accepting pre-orders... Gotta wait till 2016 I guess.
