this is curry and it wants to be your friendly home robot companion it's the first product from Mayfield robotics a startup from Bosch when I first heard about it I thought it was going to be sort of like an Alexa taped to a robot vacuum but what curry tries to do and where it tries to separate itself is with personality it looks at you it smiles with its eyes it has a number of different greetings that are called wait for it Romo cheese curry can follow you around it can respond to voice commands you can have it patrol your home and take pictures if there's anything out of the ordinary if your dogs on the couch Curry's going to understand context send you an alert and you can use the speakers and Guri to yell at your dog it also has a four microphone array so it can hear you and know where you're talking from and then look at you when you give a command in an extra bit of coolness curry actually uses lasers to help it map your house so it can know where rooms are and not run into objects on the way curry it's all about the personality all about the adorableness it can also do podcasts it can also sync up with IFFT so hopefully in the future you'll be able to do a lot of smart home functionality I'm still hoping for some alexa like use here to help justify the $700 price tag and it's gonna be out by December of 2017 by the time it launches I'm hoping for a bit more smart home functionality and a few more voice commands but for the time being I can attest it's got the adorable part now
