Business News - Fujitsu Social Robot Bear

A good friend of mine is an artist, whereby he draws portraits exceptionally well, and he usually sells his paintings at the local bazaar. Basically, my friend is thinking of opening an art gallery down the street, whereby he would like to showcase his drawings to the general public, while generating some revenue in the process. And lately, he told me that he already made some reservations to rent an empty shop lot somewhere in the city, and he wants to market the location of his art gallery. Generally, I told him that he should print a stack of business cards prior to the actual launch date of his art gallery, whereby he can always distribute these artist business cards to his targeted audience, so that they are well aware of the location of the new art gallery. Also, I think my friend should print his business cards through a web-based printer, as he can easily customize his business cards using the web-based system. And judging by the fact that there are thousands of business card templates that he can choose from the web-based system, I’m sure my friend can pick a good design for his business cards. I just hope that my friend’s upcoming art gallery launch will go smoothly.

Robots can be the best customer relationship assistance, whereby these robots can be programmed to satisfy any client’s PR needs. Nevertheless, the Japanese researchers surely have created so many robots that have wide applications, and one of these segments include social robots.

In fact, Fujitsu has just recently created their very first social robot bear, whereby these bears are programmed to aid children or elderly people. Of course, the social bear has the capability to smile, laugh, and it also can wave at people. And when the social robot bear is left alone, it will automatically fall asleep and ignore any people who are near the bear. And according to Fujitsu, it seems their robot bears utilize 12 actuators, and can perform 300 actions through its face, next and body. There’re 13 skin touch sensor, tilt sensor, hand grip sensors, and even a microphone. Of course the social robot bear is perfect for any childcare center or nursing homes, don’t you think so?

However, the robot social bear is still in its beta stage, so you won’t be seeing any of these bears anytime soon.
