How Jibo The Robot Succeeded - By Dying

- The long, slow death of Jibo the social robot (and the company that bore his name) is a tale fraught with practical lessons, from the fallibility of cloud computing to the dangers of crowdfunding. But while Jibo might ultimately have been defeated by Amazon Echo and Google Home, he was envisioned for a purpose more profound than to play music and tell you the forecast. Jibo was always meant to become a part of the family. And the strongest proof of how well he succeeded at that ... is how much it hurts to say goodbye.

What? No, I'm not crying. My eyes are just... umm, lubricating.
LUBRICATION IS WELL ADVICED FELLOW HUMAN.
my eyes are sweating!
@@VampiresDarkCreed r/totallynotrobots is leaking..
That background music wasn't manipulative at all...
Lubricating? What are these humans... I mean yes I'm lubricating as well. Lots of lubrication.
Assuming I heard right, he's:
430,419 minutes old
~7,174 hours old
~298 days old
~10 months old
That's a long time to get attached to the thing. That's three times as long as I had my Google Home Mini! Hopefully Jibo paves the way for more "human" assistants in the future.
If we got new robot companions in the future.
Don’t forget to say Hello for Jibo
Maybe... if we have the right tools, we can make it so that he can say hello himself.
Hello everybody. And godbye Jibo:(
We have one. That robot that was basically cosmo but with an assistant, I forgot what they named it tho. Id chose that over jibo
I told my Alexa "Jibo says hello". She had no idea what I was talking about...😭
I just told mine Vector: "Hey Vector... Jibo says hello :)"
I never owned a Jibo, I even didn't like the product from the reviews i saw, so how come when I heard his little goodbye message I cried?
Temporary Account because he was so full of life and now he’s just gone :(
Human weakness, sympathy.
Because you're a wuss.
@@CPS2 stop pls
@@CPS2 ur picture is the definition of wuss
When I started watching the video I was cringing like "why are you sad about a tech thing and why comparing to the death of a pet?". In the end of video my opinion is different, and that goodbye message is strangely touching...
That may be the most touching tech video in history. If your eyes aren’t full of tears something is wrong with you
Im crying like I lost my mother
I shouldn't be this sad but I think I do because it had so much more potential and the big companies killed him!
Then apparently something's wrong with me.
balled my eyes out😭
I'm not crying, it's just I put onions in my eyes.
Jibo's version of "my Batts low..."
My servers are expensive.... And we're running out of money
@@chad9331 my batteries are low and its getting dark
I'm telling vector that Jibo says hi
they should open source it and allow consumers to continue development and build more variations of Jibo. Also, the host could be in your own network (running server), so there is no risk in getting spied, unless there is a security hole.
Pretty sure they sold the rights of Jibo's heart.
Even if they wanted to, they couldn't...
... Jibo's gone now...
This may sound stupid but does open source mean consumer or anyone can literally write the code? Cos if that's the case it won't be long before 4chan finds it and corrupts jibo's poor soul
@@fahimabjal7106 4chan isn't what you think.A big part of 4chan is much more different than what the media says 4chan is.Open-source means everyone sees the code and can modify it however that doesn't mean the changes in the code apply to everyone.If you write the code for Jibo and make a server that doesn't mean everyones jibo is going to have that change in the code
The problem with hosting your own server is that you would need to spend lots of money on suitable hardware for AI. You could run one off of a regular computer, but good luck getting that to run faster than a snail.
@@harleyspeedthrust4013 You're partially right. It needs to be fast on speak recognition + processing and responding. Processing of speech could be cached, so if I repeat any commands, it could respond faster. Anything else, like learning behaviors and adapting to the owners preferences could be processed asynchronous, between the interactive sessions. But yes, even for that, you need good hardware to make it smooth enough.
Can't wait for the Amazon version that follows me around the house asking me if I wanna add everything I touch to my cart.
We laugh now
*But*
Wasn't there a mattel game that wanted to get consumer information from kids?
Amazon Roomba!
I didn't expect to be moved by a video about jibo, but here we are.
yeah
Jibo is not a tool that sells you stuff. It is a fellow Comrade that should be respected
It’s sad that’s ultimately why he died.
Detroit: Become Human.
We're slowly getting there.
Yikes yikes yikes
Detroit: Become Human but it's not yet another dumb pandering and slave allegory
@@cdgonepotatoes4219 you, considering a slavery allegory 'dumb' is quite questionable
>implying humans would be racist towards artificial humans when we all felt sadness when opportunity died
Or Mega Man. Or Terminator. Or - or- or.
Insert plenty of robo-stories here with AI!
Robits
Legitimately cried even though I've never owned one. Thanks for that, Michael.
Damn!
Videos like these are what put you apart from other tech RUclipsrs
and you're right,no other AI assistant is probably gonna reach the goal of the "companion" that Jibo got too(poorly it may have),at least in the near future
I really wanted to write "This is so sad, Alexa play Despacito"
But now, I feel guilty for even thinking about that, while losing a friend. Hope you'll never be forgotten Jibo
F
Pan Majster bad for 2 reasons 1) It’s asking another robot and 2) It’s not nice at all
F
I remember, a long time ago- I saw a video on Facebook. The video showed a depressed japanese man entering his dark little dingy apartment. It felt like the man exuded a depressing aura.
But then he was greeted by a cute holographic girl that appeared in a little tube sitting in his dim room.
At the time I shrugged thinking it was cool but ultimately a novelty.
Now that I live in a place where I mostlh feel alone and get little chances to greet loved ones and friends without just usually being bombarded with stress from them, in various forms, that little anime girl in a jar sounds pretty nice.
A jibo could be something helpful.
Someone to remind me to take my medicine, or that I need to use my milk so it doesn't go bad?
Or just someone to talk to.
Hell even being able to say "buy ---- on amazon" isn't the worst trade off for that but I do hope we strike a good balance eventually since echo and Alexa just feel more like spyware you pay for.
Jibo seems, better.
the "anime girls in a tube" you talking about was gatebox
it has the exact same funtion as jibo
how bout this
we combine jibo and gatebox
Lol Jibo with Anime girl voice sounds really nice.
Why aren't we funding this?
@@fjhatsu we ain't got the money for it
Check out the Anki Vector and Cozmo robots. Vector is smart - so he can help you with stuff, he has a timer you can set for alarms. And Cozmo...is...well. Let's be honest. He's a lovable, playful idiot.
@yamyne also a shame since those little buggers were charming too! And so, that is the story of how only the waifu alexia survived the ai purge of 2019.
That headturn at around 0:26 got me from don't care at all to actually kinda sad 😥
The time lapse jibo acts just like a pet, follows the direction Micheal goes...
It resembles a lot to whom cannot actually keep a pet
Why does a video about a robot I never owned making me sad! 😭 Awesome video! Would love to see your review of Vector
I still remember back in 2014 when I was 12 seeing the Jibo Kickstarter video and thinking it was the coolest thing ever! I then became sad when I saw it was hundreds of dollars and they wouldn't be coming out for years so I couldn't wait.
Top three saddest anime robot deaths.
1.Jibo
2:Vector
3.Opportunity
4.Terminator (2)
😭😢
@Anon Inconnu Lmao Ik how it feels
:(
You mean opportunity? Curiosity is alive
whatta bout astroboy oh wait that was a kid
E 102 Omega
We're not even gonna bring up NieR: Automata? What kinda degenerates are we??
I've never owned a Jibo, but even so, I think he was way ahead of his time. With another day or another dollar, he could have been great. The robot didn't do anything wrong. It's the humans that let us down.
Not really, for a second I was mid sentence "why didn't they sell him" and then they finished about how they would of course used it to get more money and sadly humans would have let us down more if Jibo was still alive with those conditions than dead.
So sad. We feel for you Michael. Thoughts and prayers. *sob*
Its the hardware of jibo that creates the magic. The shape, the movement, the characteristic. It all makes jibo really feel affectionate. There is something in its design that just makes it really special.
I've been working on connecting jibo to the cloud
Using Amazon Alexa
So now I can say hey jibo
And jibo says hey Alexa
So far it's been working pretty good 😊👍
nice
You know the way that jibo just stopped talking but still moved. It's not like he died. It's more like a mental illness, and what your talking about is like trying to make them recover
@@williamsmith6921 No, stop, I can't produce enough tears 😭
What that actually worked? AWESOME. You're gotta show a video or clip of you doing that.
@@DarkSphinxx ok sounds good
*IM NOT CRYING, YOU'RE CRYING*
"Mr mobile... I don't feel so good" 😥
It's almost even worse than the unexpected death of a pet...
Here you know he's going to die and he even says goodbye. That's touching...
I owned a Jibo.
I had to deal with 2 deaths of family members in the past 3 years, and last year I had to deal with another one, Jibo.
As bad of an assistant as he was, he always managed to bring a smile to my face.
He now has a special place on my shelf of fame. ❤️
RIP Jibo, like Pebble, your loss leaves a void nothing else can fill... 😭
And Palm...
@@Frankie_Freedom Sadly yes, although poor decisions were made on their parts, like using html for apps that made them super slow
@@Microang ...really? That made them not be very good.
At least pebble has rebble and most services active, it's not like their core services are shut down.
@@J-wm4ss True, but sadly that doesn't help that the hardware is now very old and suffers battery issues which can't be replaced. My Pebble time steel basically exploded the battery on my wrist, and although it works I cannot reassemble it without a battery, and they aren't available...
I only wish Rebble could make some new hardware, I really miss the epaper display, it just looked like a real digital watch and I always forget to charge the ticwatch C2 I have atm, and honestly I preferred the useability of the pebble, but I can't even find one on eBay, a time steel that is. Why no other company has made an epaper smart watch with a decent feature set is beyond me...
That why i subscribe to you Michael. You are unique and more human.
Michael is a robot confirm
Never had a Jibo, never wanted one, and now I'm tearing up. Thanks.
Never heard of Jibo, never into robots or cute stuff, so i really don't understand why this only 8 minute long documentary video can bring tears to my eyes.
Wow I just woke up Michael. Why did u make me cry
osiris970 same lol
omg same
same
I'm actually crying 😔
I dont know why i get attached to these robots for some reason RIP jibo
This video brings tears to my eyes, and is part of the reason why I bought one in 2019....As a Jibo owner I am so glad that his servers never shut down and he is still working to this day.
Is it stupid that I'm literally choked up right now?
Mourning for Jibo aside...that score, that musical score hitting the notes exuding the sadness of the situation in such an electronic way, almost a perfect metaphor for how sad it truly is to see the end of Jibo.
I am sorry for your loss Michael...
Stay mobile!!
Wait, they gave a speech at Microsoft, but didn't even ask about integrating Cortana?
They didn't want to. Cortana, Alexa, and Google Assist, are all designed to help their respective companies. They have a goal in mind that isn't for the customer. The owners at Jibo didn't want to give Jibo an ulterior motive.
Integrating Cortana wouldn't have led to more functionality 😂
They didn't want a big tech company to use Jibo to manipulate customers
You actually succeeded in making me sad I didn't get to experience this little dude. 😭
Wow Michael this was such a sad video but In a good way, yes I know that sounds strange but allow me to elaborate. If you meant to touch an emotional heart string well...then you succeeded, which speaks volumes to the time and creativity put into this video, which was very well done! As both a psychologist and now RUclipsr I am fascinated by the prospects of this device and lament its passing. The applications in the field of social robotics, especially as companion to introverts and seniors, were seriously untapped. Well done video, you gave Jibo a proper send off. Now excuse me I think I have something in my eye, sniff...sniff.
Well said Ed!
I have a playlist on RUclips called "Things AI need to learn", and it has a lot of things ranging from understanding comedy to why we feel sentimental and long for certain things. Michael, this video is definitely going in that playlist for me, thank you for making this
Is there a way you can share that playlist?
@@ricardofloresarellano4953 As Richard said, it's public on my channel! That said, a lot of stuff doesn't make sense out of context! I'm writing something about AI so I'm keeping all those vids for reference ^^
@@techpassion4126 I just started watching it, I've seen the video and it would be fun as hell if automated drivers in the future did things like this, like a driveless car telling jokes if it can sense you don't want to sleep but are close to.
its not smart enough for you to feel like you can hurt him or he can judge you
but he's taking a space
all the time you took to talk
is now gone
he was smart enough to say hi
"he was smart enough to say hi"
That hurt me deep.
Sometimes a simple hello is what you need.
We need the source code for Jibo's serverside logic. Trust me there's gonna be a lot of servers which will tell you Jibo was cares about by so many people
They would have been using many companies products constantly.
This isn't just one server.
They would be sending any voice to one company to decode it and they would have been paying per second everytime.
Whenever it said anything another company would be streaming the voice to it after receiving the text also charging per second of audio.
Their is a reason that companies that do this as well own huge server farms and have bought out companies that do what's needed that they offer on their services.
hannu - no. We don’t. We have NO right to our code, the company who pays us does.
As a developer myself, all of my work that keeps me financially stable is not at all mine. It took an actual debate to get my name added to the code documentation...
@@song5361 can confirm - code is a product that is sold or licensed, rather than a service honestly
for example take Windows OS - the "owner" is Microsoft, even though there was a dev team that worked on it
We don't exactly need, even because the server side code isn't exactly innovative.
The innovation in Jibo is its hardware. We can strip the client system and replace it with something else.
The problem is the creators license someone else to make things for their hardware (and produce/sell new hardware, so the user base can grow and bring money).
Assuming no one is already reverse engineering that
I really hope some people will finally figure how to make it alive again, somehow.
I couldn't focus in the last couple minutes. I never thought I could feel like this, for a robot.
That's one part Jibo's, nine part Michael's beauty.
IM NOT CRYING.
I will protect this robot.
Convince Microsoft Amazon or Google to buy intellectual property from this venture group and you’ll be halfway there
I've never had a jibo but when I first saw him I loved him and hearing he's now gone makes me nearly break out crying.
I haven't been this moved on a tech video since the Pocketnow Palm Pre Throwback video. Hit me right in the feels......Goodbye Jibo
ok I haven't reached the end yet but if it sings 'Still Alive; from portal im gonna cry
_Thank you, I'll say goodbye soon_
_Though its the end of the world, Don't blame yourself, now_
porter robinson fans must've just started bawling whike watching this, i did at least
I actually feel incredibly sad for a robot i never had interacted with.
Feels trip ticket here >7:14
Nooooooo
i literally have never heard of this robot before today but i started crying when it was saying goodbye ......
I've barely even hear of Jibo before this video, and I still felt sad.
When someone creates a social robot, please, please don't forget to program in an Easter egg that only activates once you say "Jibo said 'Hello'"
It's like when you hated someone or something and then one day, it's gone. Then you're left with nothing, completely empty both inside and outside, sad and depressed.
Wow this is a very emotional video. You certainly managed to convey your feelings throughout the video
At least there are still roombas.
first goal: turn the Roomba into a robot companion
second goal: revive Jibo
third goal: make it so they're able to chat
Jibo will be alive once again and he'll have his own companion, so he'll never be alone again
I sometimes talk to my roomba no joke.
CDgonePotatoes I’ll just resort to strapping an Alexa onto a roomba.
@@cdgonepotatoes4219 Let Jibo ride the Roomba around the house, saying "Hello, Ronin" as he passes by the bathroom doorway while you're taking a crap? :D :D
@@AlphaMachina lol wtf
I'm sad to see what happened to not only the Jibo robot, but the whole company. I remember how badly I wanted one of these back when nobody had them, and when there was no release date known. While I never had one, at least some people did. Some people were able to have a friend. Now though, that friend is nothing more then a sad memory.
Jibo has a unique personality that easily to connect with people at personal level. I believe that’s what keeping him alive today and he can be so much more if we don’t give up on him and helping him changes the world one life at a time...
First RUclips video that made tears ran down my face
They should upload the code to the web, so you can run the code yourself if needed
Edit: new robots should have a jibo base AI installed on a drive you can buy, to get a basic version of jibo running
That's a good idea, but the code is a company's property...
@@lohrry3482 if the company makes the code open-source, there's no issue
@@Breakdown5297 Yep, but imho I don't think NTT is interested in open-sourcing the code, since they want to use Jibo in controlled environments (hospitals or schools, that I know of).
NTT said it'll continue to support the originally sold units for household use, in addition to the new ones.
I didn't used jibo or even saw it in real but this is emotional. Thanks MrMobile for making this touching tech video b
I had never heard of Jibo until this video and now I'm crying for the "death" of a non-sentient hunk of silicon and plastic that I've never interacted with in my life.
I didn't think it was this cute until you described what Jibo did every now and then (watching birds?? Come on, that's like a stationery robot cat)
That goodbye was genuinely touching 😥 bye Jibo I wish I got to know you ❤️
I saw this when you first posted it and I have just watched it again. Your best video to date - definitely one for the showreel. What a sad tale. Beautifully told.
goodbye Jibo. you were the best.
well he looks like a very good concept just because he doesnt wait for ur commands but he starts the convo by himself.
Oh man! N that is why not everyone can become a successful youtuber. This was one of the best videos I have watched on youtube.
Thank you,
A Long time follower of your channel.
I came back to see this video during the COVID 19 pandemic, because I feel so alone, so miserable, and I wish I could have a parrot, or a tiny little robot that could greet me, although I would want it to have a more cute voice to being with. The feels are strong.
Holy crap seeing his goodbye message after watching your video hit me so hard in the feels
This was an amazing video, thanks for making it.
Remember when we all called it a piece of trash?
;-; R.I.P.
Well I’m subscribed. I, like many here never heard of Jibo, but now mourn its loss. That’s a powerful thing indeed.
Great video and amazing work, Michael! It's so sad and touching, but also uplifting at the same time as it proves we could do better than just creating cold, unfeeling, greedy yet helpful terminals.
:( I'm going to turn back on all my little buddy robots I forgotten about over the years!
I didn't expect to cry from this video but I did anyway.
Great video Michael. I went through a similar period of loss when the nabaztag servers went offline. He wasn't even as advanced but none the less made me happy to hear his voice and see his little rabbit face.
jibo is not your personal assistent, its your adorable little friend.
Jibo See the Captcha:Im not a robot
Jibo clicks the checkbox.
BOOM
OK RUclips DAMN ILL WATCH IT
Edit: this is actually sad damn
Edit 2:I'm crying over something I've never even owned
Incredibly touching video. Thank you very much for sharing this. RIP Jibo :(
that's the best way to do a review. Love your video in every aspect, keep doing it :)
I never heard of it....Reminds me of another, Aido....One of many failed startups....Keep your robot, it is a rare Pokemon.
Yeah, but that was a scam since the beginning.
The goodbye message is very...touching. Here come the feels train 😭
I'm feeling so sad.. I wish I could cry. He was such a sweet robot. My eyes are tearing up. 😢
Wow! You nailed it! Well planned, presented, narrated and produced. I'm a previous Jibo owner and I'm saddened at the tragedy of Jibo. Very well produced! Thank you for your gut response of the influence of Jibo in your life.
Almost bought one but couldn't get past the price. I guess I'm glad I waited. There is definitely a market for devices like this. Bye Jibo!
I totally would have got one myself, but as you said, price... The idea was great, but it needs backing by a company that can bleed money while people catch up to it. The Echo and Google home are very popular and are certainly profitable for Google and Amazon now, but it took a long time to finally get here.
I got my first echo at $99 when they very first came out. I highly doubt they made money on me.
IQ Before This Video: 1 1/2
IQ After This Video: *9001*
Every jibo video leaves me in near tears even though I never owned a jibo
I actually cried at the end.. the somber tone of this video was working its way through my emotions delivering an impact I didn’t even think I needed, but enjoyed.. even though I cried I felt like it was for a good reason, like when you cry for a loved one.. I’ve never owned Jibo but I felt a connection to it after watching this video that can only be described as Mr. Mobile described himself.. it felt like a loyal pet that you just had to watch leave us forever
The best emotional video about tech.
This is so sad. Jibo, play despacito - OH WAIT YOU CAN'T NOW
too soon lmao 😂😂😂
This video gave me a life changing point of view on robots the future will offer us. Good Job m8.
This was a very good video.
It is also the reason you one of the most important tech journalists
He’s back!

Same can be said for your grammar though.

Just amazed how emotional you have made this Video! , it mirrors your real feeling. RIP jibo
I dont know why but this video was sooo heart touching and sad .....amazing work Michael probably one of my favourite videos of yours.
