Romo answer the door the friendly robotic Butler is a staple of sci-fi films but it's still far from a mainstream reality although today a French startup keikar is unveiling its vision for the ideal at-home bot the unit has a built-in projector that aims to make any wall in your home the best screen in the house for a film a game or digital art it also has a six speaker array with a subwoofer underneath to provide music wherever needed without clutter it started off mainly with entertainment you know TVs music you know web content games and we added like security features where you can remotely access the camera and move the device inside your home in real time with data like temperature co2 level etc and I guess the final aspect that is really kind of key now is decoration digital art and trying to turn any surface into a screen which makes a home a lot more interactive and that's really exciting to me it's more like a computer a robot is big narrow and it's more like trying to bring computing to a different level and giving it mobility that could make it in the definition of a robot but it's definitely not what we you know how I see this product I think it's more an evolution of the computer as opposed to yeah robots so the first thing your dad's when you buy it and you turn it on it's like a little cat it will just go around your house and it will create its own app and it'll actually you know understand what walls are or what is furniture and how each particular room is connected to each other you'll know your house so you'll tell it to go to the bedroom to the bathroom and wherever it is it will go to that particular location just pressing you know goods in the bedroom you'll just go and you don't have to do it yourself you know you could be something that wakes you up in the morning it can be a device that can play with a cat and look at it during the day and give you reports of what it's doing it can be about home decoration for example the camera will definitely could think of like working with oculars types of devices where you could see you know inside the screen your 360 camera and make it move at the same time and being able to check everything that goes around you know the the possibilities are really exciting and we also hoped for developers to you know participate leveraging the fact that it's device that moves a device that has projected image and a 360 camera and we hope they'll make amazingly cool new apps the initial twenty first units will be at 1990 dollars so just you know under $2,000 eventually the retail price is going to be a little higher probably around four or five thousand dollars and the idea is that it would replace a big-screen TV a projector and maybe some speakers if it's gonna cost me four to five thousand dollars yeah I think you know instead of having everything you know fixed devices everywhere this could give you the ability to have one device that creates the same atmosphere in any room without having to have tons of fixed devices everywhere so I think financially it's actually quite interesting every new type of device has had its interaction revolution the phone with a touch interface the computer with a mouse and this I think you'll be even something else
