The iple Companion Robot is a tutor for children who have spoken language instruction and tablet-based instructional services, delivering interactive information in an entertaining manner that encourages social growth and fosters interest in science and technology.
Likewise, iPal makes education fun and attractive to children. It can talk, dance, tell stories, play games, encourage physical activity, and enable them to chat with friends, share videos, and secure internet and social media connections. Parents can control iPal remotely and monitor the progress, safety, and activities of their child from anywhere and at any time on their smartphone or desktop, under strict controls.
Most elders are lonely and isolated. They often have trouble keeping track of daily activities like taking their medicine. iPal is a frequent friend supplementing personal care facilities and delivering surveillance warnings for certain medical emergencies, such as falling down.
- Example: An example is a chain of children’s stores where iPal meets, entertains, asks them about items, etc., as they walk through the shop. Which is to provide customers with a higher degree of personal support, as a concierge/greeter in hotels.
Working Process:
The humanoid device is as tall as a five-year-old, moves and dances on wheels. And they do work. Through facial recognition technology, they keep their eyes on children alone. With this technology, they understand what the child is doing and what is good for them.
Parents can also directly speak to and monitor the children through the iPal, which is linked to a mobile device. And parents can hear them, and indirectly speak to them. This is what makes kids work there.
Robots make a friendly relationship with kids. It increases children’s trust, which makes them happier.
Even all these robots help kids to learn. Some parents record the lesson and play the lesson when kids are in a good study mood. This will increase kids’ awareness.
Roberts plays a very important role in children’s lives to make life more enjoyable there.
