About EMO
EMO is a desktop companion robot from LivingAI.
He is designed to live on your desk and interact with the world around him through movement, expressions, sounds, sensors and artificial intelligence.
What is EMO?
EMO is a small desktop robot designed to act as a companion rather than simply being a programmable machine.
He has his own personality and can react to things happening around him. He can look around, respond to people, make sounds, move around his desk and display different expressions.
A lot of what makes EMO interesting is the way all of these systems work together to make him feel more alive.
What can EMO do?
EMO has a variety of hardware and software that allows him to interact with his surroundings.
- Recognise people and faces
- Respond to sounds and voices
- Move around on his desk
- Display animations and expressions
- Play games
- Dance and perform animations
- React to his surroundings
- Interact with his owner
Personality
One of the main features of EMO is his personality. He isn't intended to behave exactly like a traditional robot that simply waits for instructions.
EMO can react to things happening around him and express different emotions through his animations, sounds and movements.
A lot of EMO's personality comes from the small animations and reactions he performs during everyday interactions.
What's inside EMO?
EMO contains a collection of sensors and hardware that allow him to understand and interact with his environment.
This includes cameras, microphones, speakers, motors and other components that work together with his software.
The combination of these systems is what allows EMO to see, hear, move and respond to what is happening around him.
