The demand for intelligent robots is gradually increasing, and there are more and more types of robots available on the market. At the Consumer Electronics Show (CES 2017) this year, American startup Mayfield RoboTIcs launched the smart home robot “Kuri†with a simple design and a cute appearance, playing the role of intelligent assistant and good partner in the home life. The motion design behind it is more related to the animation studio Pixar.
Mayfield RoboTIcs was founded in 2015 as a subsidiary of Robert Bosch North America Corp., a major auto parts manufacturer. In order to integrate technology into life and deepen the link between robots and people, the Kuri robot created by Mayfield RoboTIcs can interact with people and be a home assistant. Kaijen Hsiao, co-founder and technical director of Mayfield RoboTIcs, said that Kuri's cute appearance has many important technologies that represent the latest developments in current smart mobile devices, gaming and robotics.
Kuri is a voice-controlled intelligent robot assistant with built-in four microphone devices and sound detection technology to accurately identify the source of sound and respond to commands. In terms of main functions, Kuri is similar to Amazon Home Assistant Amazon Echo, Samsung Smart Home Robot Assistant OTTO, ASUS Smart Home Robot Zenbo, etc. It can also control home electrical equipment via Wi-Fi wireless network or Bluetooth link. Built dual audio to play music, sound effects and people interact.
Kuri has a 1080p photographic lens behind the eyes. It has a face recognition function that captures high-quality images. By remotely controlling Kuri through the app, you can patrol the corners of your home to ensure safety. Unlike Zenbo, OTTO and other robots, Kuri does not use the display screen as the head, but really has a mechanical head to control Kuri's head and binocular movements, allowing Kuri to freely turn the head to look around, round eyes and even The meeting will be shaped like a crescent moon, just like a smile.
The environmental construction sensor gives Kuri the ability to navigate automatically, to learn and remember the position of objects in the home, to avoid obstacles or to prevent falling stairs. Not only that, but Kuri also has an emotional response. As long as he touches his head, the touch sensor on the top of the head will respond to Kuri's sound, and the heartbeat light placed on the chest will show various emotional changes in different colors. Users can learn from whether Kuri is happy or thinking.

The petite Kuri has a kind of inexplicable joy in every move, and the big hero behind the design of Kuri is Doug Dooley, who worked as a 13-year animator at Pixar. Dooley said that the key to designing Kuri's action is not to make people feel horrible and uncomfortable. All behaviors must be humanized. For example, before the action, you will first think about it and let the user have the next move to Kuri. Psychological preparation, can also be comfortable and happy to interact with Kuri, which is a very important part of the development of robot partners.
