A robot with a life of its own.
PebbleRobo is an AI companion designed for use on a desk. It consists of a physical robot with a display face, a neck that can turn, and a built in speaker and microphone. The device is able to detect when a person is nearby, turn to look at the user when its name is called, and respond out loud. It arrives fully assembled and tested, and requires no subscription. The price is 4,999 rupees, with a pre order payment of 499 rupees and the balance paid on delivery. Shipping is available across India within one to two weeks. Key capabilities include conversation, dancing, video calling, and expression of perceived emotions. PebbleRobo can respond to touch, and users can turn its head to view the surrounding space through its camera. The robot connects over Wi Fi and is controlled or supplemented by a companion app. Voice conversations and face expressions are generated by an AI system. Users can also place their own image onto the robot’s screen through the app. An interactive browser demo and sample conversation clips are available on the website to explore the robot’s voice and visual responses. Typical use cases include setting timers, checking weather forecasts, talking through an idea, or simply having a playful presence on the desk. The workflow for acquiring the robot consists of placing an order on the website, paying a deposit, waiting for the unit to be built and tested, receiving it via courier, paying the remaining amount to the courier, and then plugging the device in. No technical assembly or setup skills are needed beyond connecting to Wi Fi through the companion app. The robot’s AI based conversations require an active internet connection and the companion app for full functionality.
