According to the head of ASUSTeK Computer, Johnny Shih:
The most intriguing aspect of Zenbo's capabilities is its ability to connect to different devices. For example, a robot can join a TV, an air conditioner, a washing machine and other equipment. Zenbo is able to independently monitor dangerous situations - for example, the fall of a person - and notify his family and friends of a similar incident. By receiving such news, a person can take control of the robot and assess the situation using the built-in camera. In addition, Zenbo is able to turn off any of the household appliances to prevent a possible fire or flood.
Over time, ASUS plans to expand the functionality of its creation. If you believe the manufacturer, Zenbo learns to remind of events in the calendar, like a planned trip to the cinema, to a doctor, hairdresser, etc.
For kids, Zenbo serves as a gaming partner, learning and entertainment device. He can organize an exciting program with dancing to music or reading books from the built-in digital library.
The company is also promoting a Zenbo software development project with access to a software development kit for creating new applications.
A friendly Zenbo will cost $ 599. But the exact release date of the robot is still unknown.
