Japan has produced some of the craziest and most innovative
robots so far, but this time they have taken robotics and mobile technology to
whole new level .A Japanese company Sharp has recently launched a new kind of
phone which is a hybrid of a robot and a smartphone. Shocking, right? But your
shock will turn into an awe when you will find out how this adorable little
robot cum phone can make your life tranquil.
So far Sharp has only shed light on few of the
features of RoboHon .But whatever they are claiming is no less than a miracle
of technology. Its weight is 390 grams and is 19.5 cm in length (not exactly light
weight and adjustable).It is equipped with a tiny two inch screen at its back
to give you an experience of a smartphone. In addition to that it has Wi-Fi and
LTE. Just like other smartphones it offers facial and voice recognition. Only
this time the device that is trying to recognize you is not just a flat screen
phone but a cute little robot.
Along with the capabilities of a smartphone it
has all the features of a highly skilled and intelligent robot. It can sit, stand,
walk, dance and raise its arms to notify you that something important has just
come up. It will wake you up in the morning just like any of your family
members would and at the same time read to you the list of activities you are
going to perform that day. If you are busy in household chores and your hands
are dirty, you can ask this adorable little creature to read your texts to you
and send a reply. You can also instruct it to place a call to a person. If you
have a habit of forgetting stuff you wanted to buy, right when you enter the grocery
store, there is no need to worry anymore because this cute tiny friend of yours
will remember all the items for you.
RoboHon
is a helping hand in you daily routine. It can call a taxi for you to get you
to your work place. You can use it as a projector to present your work or watch
pictures and videos anywhere you want. It can also act like your companion when
you are feeling alone or bored. This feature of RoboHon was demonstrated at its
launch ceremony, when the owner said “It is a beautiful weather” it replied in affirmative
just like any other artificial intelligence, but definitely in a more charming
way.
No
smartphone is complete without a sophisticated camera through for taking pictures,
making videos and creating memories on the go. RoboHon is also equipped with
all these features but instead of a small camera lens it takes pictures by
flashing its delightful round eyes. In order to take perfect pictures its
developers has added some extra cool features in its software.
Some
people might propose that it is not a very practical approach for a smartphone.
Surely you will look goofy while holding a robot to your ear for attending a
call. But then again modern technology is moving towards a more unconventional
approach which can provide you both comfort and entertainment.
