RoboSavvy announces SavvyBot: a software platform for Humanoid Robots that lets the robot interact with humans that can interact with humans by utilizing the web in clever ways. In its centre is a humanoid robot that interacts with people as they pass by.
Designed for continuous operation, SavvyBot can sit on a reception desk of corporate head office or at a permanent exhibition providing a few minutes of entertainment and useful information.
The robot’s intelligence is largely due to use of online services such as chatterbot, face recognition, business card OCR, social networks, news, business intelligence, text mining, text/video/music search etc.
SavvyBot is continuously scanning his environment trying to recognize known and new faces that pass by.
He is capable of acting on past interactions (such as resuming interaction with known visitors), engaging with new faces and quickly learn about a person’s likes and any other information his clever algorithms can find. The type of interaction can be tailored to each location and customer's needs and requirements.
SavvyBot runs on the NAO® humanoid robot, manufactured by Aldebaran Robotics.
The first demonstration of SavvyBot was held at a recent conference where it was tailored for one-time interactions.
Due to surrounding noise, voice recognition was not possible. Therefore a keyboard was used to enter responses to questions.
A companion computer can also be used to convey additional media such as textual hints and video clips.
In this demo, SavvyBot tries to recognize people that pass by and offers to become their friend on Facebook.He has his own Facebook ID (“SavvyBot”) and likes to take a picture together with new friends to post them on his Facebook timeline. Once he is your friend on Facebook his algorithms analyse your Likes and SavvyBot will dance to your favourite tune.
He may also comment about where you live and say quirky things about your status and twitter feeds. </p>
Summary of features:
In the future the SavvyBot concept will be deployed in every location where today you can find a computer screen providing information. In some cases SavvyBot can replace a person such as at a reception or
information desk.
SavvyBot software platform is a first of its kind. It is the result of years of expertise at RoboSavvy Labs, and is our small contribution to the field of H.R.I.
