A Robot Roommate
Sometimes, when you need a friend, a robot may be your best bet. Roomie was developed by a Mexican technology company to offer therapeutic treatment -- one of its many capabilities. It can detect symptoms and also converse using natural language processing software. During the COVID-19 pandemic, at a time of necessary social distancing, Roomie helped relieve loneliness and isolation among hospital patients. This use of artificial intelligence may well be a sign of things to come in the service economy.
Description: A white and black robot. Roomie is shaped like a bowling pin: thick and round on the bottom and thin and round at the top. It has a rectangular head. The head has two blue circles in the center of the rectangle that are meant to resemble eyes. There is a piece connecting the head and the body that resembles a neck.
You can ask Roomie questions and its specially trained AI will answer them! Start by saying, "Roomie, how are you today?"
A video accompanies this object. Plug in headphones to hear the audio description.
