Founded by Dr. Cynthia Breazeal in the Boston, MIT Media Lab in 2012, Jibo, which is wirelessly connected to the Internet and moves as if its part of the action in a room, is marketed as an interactive storyteller, teaching tool, and has a message delivering system that recognizes multiple family members under the same roof. The robot, which stands at 27cm tall and weighs about 3 kg, can take photos and runs on an open platform that engineers and developers can use to optimize what Jibo is capable of doing.
