JIBO: The World's First Family Robot

Jibo is a new robot from MIT roboticist Cynthia Breazeal. It is designed to be a social robot that you interact with like it’s another person in your home. The 28-centimetre, 3-kilogram “sociable robot” snaps family photos, handles video calling and acts as a digital concierge. Connected wirelessly to the Internet, Jibo sifts through messages, organizes your itinerary and orders takeout.What people say about Jibo:"JIBO's potential extends far beyond engaging in casual conversation and completing daily tasks." - Katie Couric, Yahoo News "A Robot with a Little Humanity" - John Markoff, New York Times "JIBO isn't an appliance, it's a companion, one that can interact and react with its human owners in ways that delight instead of disturb." - Lance Ulanoff, Mashable"Move over, Siri, the JIBO robot is coming" - Maggie Lake, CNN"This Friendly Robot Could One Day Be Your Family's Personal Assistant" - Christina Bonnington, WIRED
