Robots Are Taking Over

ROBOTS

ARE TAKING OVER

From C-3PO to the Jetsons family’s maid, Rosie, the domestic robots from our favorite sci-fi movies and TV shows have always seemed lightyears away from reality. But that may no longer be the case. From compact household helpers to AI-powered companions, the rise of home robots is here. Here are a few of our favorites.

HIGH-TECH HELPERS

Budgee by 5 Elements Robotics

From the grocery store to the airport, who isn’t in need of an extra pair of hands? The 42-inch-tall Budgee is your new personal assistant. Using sonar sensors, the hardworking robot can follow you everywhere and carry up to 50 lbs. He’s also quite the conversationalist, using music and customizable messages to greet you and alert you of his status.

Rockubot

While most cleaning robots focus on vacuuming, the ROCKUBOT is a sterilization powerhouse when it comes to beds, mattresses, and everything in between. This compact robot does all the dirty work, killing 99.9 percent of bacteria, germs, and mites using ultrasonic waves. Let ROCKUBOT do its thing or use Handheld Mode to easily sanitize electronics, too.

MY TEACHER, THE ROBOT

aibo

Two words: Robot. Dog. While many attempts have been made to perfect a robotic version of man’s best friend, aibo’s blue eyes, lifelike expressions, and dynamic movements make him a clear winner. Using AI, aibo will learn to run to the sound of your voice, perform a variety of tricks on command, and even return to his charging station when he’s tired.

Wigl

Music + STEM education? Meet the robot who teaches both. Wigl was created to inspire kids to get into robotics and engineering at a young age. The little bug-looking robot dances based on the musical notes it hears. Your kids will learn the connection between their actions and the robot’s when they can make it “wigl” as they play a song or sing to it.

Bocco Emo

Teaching kids tech literacy while keeping them safe is diffi cult in a world full of smartphones. BOCCO simplifi es talk and text between young children and their parents. Connect your phone to BOCCO to send a text to your kids when you’re not around. Kids can talk to the robot, which will send you back a text with their message, making it the perfect stepping stone before they’re old enough for a smartphone. It doesn’t hurt that it’s super cute, too.

IS THE WORLD READY?

While some people have a healthy fear of robot domination, it doesn’t look like their popularity is slowing down any time soon. A recent study by ABI Research predicts that nearly 79 million homes around the world will have a robot in the house by 2024.
