Cute Professor Einstein - AI with Einstein's face

Professor Einstein is a small and cute robot model developed by Hanson Robotics based on the face of genius physicist Albert Einstein, with the ability to connect to Wi-Fi and provide users with entertainment services. as well as education. This nearly 40cm high robot can be paired with an iOS or Android application called Stein-O-Matic , allowing users to choose scientific content that wants to learn and play robot games.

In addition, Einstein robot can operate similarly to the virtual assistant Amazon Alexa or Google Home by informing users of events, issues to be solved as well as updating the current weather information. The robotics company also cooperated with toy inventor Andy Rifkin to create games with higher IQ levels, thereby promoting the ability to interact with Professor Einstein .

Professor Einstein.

"Our ultimate goal is to help the AI ​​become extremely intelligent and increase the ability to connect with people, so by giving it a human appearance, we can teach it to become "It can explore the world in ways that a child does, and learn how to socialize , " said David Hanson, the company's founder and chief executive officer. The association operates by learning from people '.

The bottom of the robot is equipped with a rechargeable battery pack.

About the robot development strategy, Hanson Robotics divided into 3 different noses, including: extremely humanoid robots, consumer robots (similar to Professor Einstein) and "AI clouds" named Mind Cloud , with data collected after times when robots interact with people, the company also pledged their AI to be programmed to not exploit information about the user's personal life.

'Privacy is always a matter of respect. It does not learn everything from people in the world, what the robot will do is learn from the interaction , 'Hanson said. "This robot will become your personal companion, but besides, Mind Cloud is also getting smarter from all interactions. So we think this is a way to make AI become should be smarter, proceed to the so-called almighty artificial intelligence '.

Professor Einstein will be a product aimed at technology enthusiasts.

In front of him, Professor Einstein will be a product aimed at technology enthusiasts, their children and their parents, and of course, it will also be for those who are fans of Einstein. It is known that in order to create a miniature version of Einstein, Hanson Robotics had to work with the Hebrew University in Jerusalem to grant permission to use his image.

Beneath the robot's foot is equipped with a rechargeable battery, each charge allows operation for 3-4 hours. The producer is expected to launch a fund call campaign on Kickstarter by the end of January. Besides Professor Einstein, Hanson Robotics also introduced a larger version of Einstein's robot and looked more realistic at CES 2017.
