Zenbo arose from Chairman Jonney Shih’s ambition to enable robotic computing
for every household. Zenbo is a friendly and capable home robot designed to
provide assistance, entertainment, and companionship to families and meant to
address the needs of each family member in this ubiquitous computing era. With
a full range of capabilities, including the ability to move independently and
understand spoken commands, Zenbo can assist in the home and interacting with
him is easy and fun.
Zenbo is designed for everyone, but he has
specific functionality that helps senior family members safeguard their health
and well-being as well as enjoy a connected digital life. As a home care
assistant, he proactively provides convenient, spoken reminders of important
information, such as doctor's appointments, medication and exercise schedules,
and anything else that needs to be remembered. Zenbo also monitors the home for
emergency situations — such as falls — and immediately responds to them by
notifying specified family members on their smartphones, no matter where they
are. When they receive an emergency notification, family members can remotely
control Zenbo to move nearby and use Zenbo's built-in camera to visually check
on their loved one. Zenbo is also a friendly companion who helps to bridge the
digital divide between generations by making it easy to accomplish a variety of
online tasks
