It is the time of year again when cute little robots become global superstars. At the CES unveil event these little robots, called Lovots, are charming the crowd, and the hundreds of gathered journalists. They are here for the first time as a real product that is about to hit the market in Japan. Previous versions that have been shown have been prototypes. The Lovot has a camera with facial recognition software, so when you walk in to a room it knows who you are. The updated Lovot can also learn how your home has been set up, for example where the front door is, so it can rush to you when you come home. Robots that act as friends, or as pets, instead of just performing repetitive tasks are becoming increasingly mainstream. Several other robots were shown at the Unveiled events, like the Mobile Arm Robot system from Industrial Technology Research Institute that can see the objects it needs to move. Most robots now also come with some sort of Artificial Intelligence function, like the ability to answer questions and hold a basic conversation. But AI can also be found in other devices, from voice assistants to smart city solutions like traffic management.
