A Personal Robots Group at MIT Media Lab has come up with a special robot that aims to be an organizer, an education tool, even assist elderly family members.
Jibo, which is priced at 499 dollars for consumers and 599 dollars for developers, will help support one's family, their human network, to be more efficient and feel more connected, CNN reported.
Cynthia Breazeal, head of the Personal Robots Group, said that the software running the robot is an open developer platform and she expects the community to come up with novel ideas that will help Jibo mature.
