Work in the field of robotic systems that can be used at home has increased so much that the prospect of robots becoming permanent assistants to our home is not far away in the near future. Mayfield Robotics introduces the robot Kuri which is a loyal friend who plays music in your home, reads the story and looks after your home while you are away.

Mayfield Robotics, one of the entrepreneurs on the Bosch Startup platform, has been demonstrating the robotic system it has been working on for nearly two years. Symbolizing simplicity and practicality, Kuri is a robot described as an intelligent system for home.

The robot, which weighs about 6 kg, has attracted the world of technology’s attention with its cute image. It has a camera, microphone, loudspeaker and touch sensors as well as all robotic systems, and it also has laser-assisted sensors. In this way, he can remember the places of things and objects in the house or the place he is in and can guide the way. The robot, which can work for a few hours after charging, also charges itself. It was announced that the robot will be available for sale at 700 dollars.

Kuri and its features

Especially designed for the support of users in the home environment, the robot is said to be able to successfully undertake many tasks at home. For example, users can control their homes while out on the HD camera, which is equipped within the robot. With 4 microphones and a powerful speaker system; as well as Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity; this robot can play music, read stories or books.

Unlike other robotic systems on the market, there is no speech as well as a screen. In this context, the company stated that robots were not able to respond as well as human beings; and that the users should not be directed in this respect. Robot recognizes and understands the conversation, using the head, hand gestures and voices as the answer.

The Mayfield Robotics team; who emphasized that the goal of this system they developed; is to connect with people and make the technology a reality; stated that Kuri would be an effective aid to humanity. “Kuri can perceive places and what is said and know people. The statements can be answered with head and hand movements and cute sounds. His personality and his ability to connect with people are among his supreme attributes.”
