Jibo

Jibo was a social robot designed to serve as a connected household assistant. It combined a friendly, human-like appearance with voice recognition, allowing it to interact naturally, answer questions, set reminders, and connect with smart home devices. Jibo could engage with family members through expressive movements, facial expressions, and personalized responses, aiming to enhance daily life through companionship and practical assistance. Though innovative, Jibo was discontinued in 2018, but it remains a notable example of early efforts to bring robotics and artificial intelligence into home environments.
