Meet piBo: The Friendly Robo‑Buddy Coming to Barcelona
Imagine a little robot that greets you by name, tells you the weather, and even knows who’s who in the room. That’s piBo, the charming new bot unveiled at Mobile World Congress in Barcelona on March 1st.
Why piBo is Feeling like the real family member, not just a voice‑assistant
South Korean darling Circulus says piBo is a “domestic social robot”—think Alexa + personalized fam‑guy. The key twist? It actually sees you.
- Face‑recognition on tap: PiBo can tell you apart from your friend, your mother, or the neighbor’s kid—no trio of blind spots.
- Smart friend, not just noise: With cameras, it knows who’s calling and speaks accordingly.
- Peppy walking style: PiBo can stroll around, albeit at a leisurely pace—still convenient for a quick “Come here, pal.”
What It Can Do Beyond Greetin’
Curious about the daily scoop? Let piBo be your very own assistant‑and‑pet combo:
- Scanning the web for news updates and weather forecasts—you’ll be the first to know whether to ditch that umbrella.
- Keeping track of your schedule—no more missed meetings.
- Managing a personal diary—yes, piBo might even remind you why you died of stress.
