More and more people today are into social networks as they find these the most convenient way to stay connected to friends and family all over the globe. That is why, if you will notice, social networks may now be accessed not just through PC or laptop but also through smartphones and high-end TVs. Yes, social networks are so in demand, and so it won’t be a surprise if sooner or later, these can be easily accessed via robots too. But wait, who said sooner or later? Because as of today, social networks have conquered the robotic world too. Ever heard about Karotz? It’s the first ever smart rabbit compatible with social networks! And just recently, Violet launched Karotz in the US.
Designed especially for Facebook, Karotz is actually the third generation of the multi-purpose, internet-connected rabbits that first launched in 2005 as Nabaztag. At first look, you might think that it’s nothing but a replica of the typical rabbit. But mind you, this is far beyond that – it basically transforms daily life by providing a link to friends, family, and the world. And today, this is made even more exciting with its Facebook compatibility feature, allowing users to connect to their Facebook account and other social media such as Twitter. So, how cool is that? But wait, there’s more! With this hardware device, your friends can take control of your new companion and communicate with you by sending messages and audio files, use its built-in webcam to see what it sees, and send a poke or move Karotz’ ears and change the color of its light.
Karotz is really a cutesy! For sure, you can’t wait to grab your own!
Smell-o-vision might still be far from horizon but smell-o-internet is here. Now, you can take a whiff of the internet with the new Olly. Instead of relying on visual and audio cues, you can now also receive olfactory alerts with the help of this device. Olly, the web connected smelly robot delivers pings from the internet as a smell. It produces scent every time there is a tweet, a like on the Instagram and even when you are running late on your appointment. You can fill any smell you like in its removable part at the back allowing you to fill and assign corresponding scent to every Internet service. You can put essential oils, your favorite perfume, a drop of gin, a slice of fruit and anything you think suits the specific service. Olly is stackable thus it changes smell when you connect one to Twitter and another to your calendar event.
Getting your own R2D2 might still be light years far far away but – you can still always settle with the new Robo Vacuum. It is not exactly rocket science or Star Wars material yet it is much better than a plain old vacuum cleaner. This vacuum gadget gets rid of dirt, dust, and left over chips and crumbs on your desktop. Lacking self propulsion technology and sophisticated AI, this cute Robo Vacuum needs to be led and moved around the desk for it to do its job. Just push the power button on the top of its head and it will actually do the table cleaning for you. To get rid of the collected dirt, simply twist off the top and dispose the contents.
