Man I bought my wife two Kittyos - like a pet camera- only to find out the server shut down. It really blows. A bunch of people have called for them to at least open source it.
Jibo turns into Rambo lol Yep, that's what happens with most products which uses the "cloud". I would never ever upload my contact list, photos and whatnot to any online server. Who knows where it's at, who has access to it, or when it will shut down. No thanks! smh
It is kinda cute. But it totally reminds me of what people in the 80s thought the robots of the future would be like. Which I guess gives it a sort of charm... if you're into collecting such oddball things.
so linus rips off his shirt and starts flexing then starts abusing this poor robot for no reason at all, what alternate dimension have I walked into? also you should review that little forklift companion with the cute face, made by the pixar wall-e guys I think, that puts this to shame and all it does is play one little game and cruise around a table.
Seems like a good platform to build on, if they can have it communicate with Google home and Alexa and Siri back ends out of the box it might stand a chance
Yeah, if Google or Amazon acquires it, I can see Amazon or Google positioning Jibo as a high-end home assistant, and if properly integrated with the Amazon/Google ecosystem, it might actually work really well.
If it managed to have all 3 of the major smart home hubs supported then it would almost be a must buy since it could incorporate the good from literally all of the big shots.
Check out vector bot. Anki shut down but a company called digital dream continued supporting him. Hes only about 150 bucks atm. Hes really cute amd has a lot of personality!
That makes much more sense now, I've been combing the web trying to figure out if Alexa was actually an acronym since hearing him spell it. My best guess was "Amazon's Learning Emulator and eXperimental Assistant" or something like that.
"he doesnt listen to my response, or carry out even rudimentary conversations, he only responds to commands" "he's almost completely useless" well now I feel offended
His voice makes him feel like more of an assistant than a companion,. His movement is amazingly natural, His curious gazing gives him the feel of this adorable little creature, but once you hear this monotone voice, it really breaks the whole "Companion" thing
@@cathacker13 Well with Google having gazillions of dollars, putting in codes to add that quirkyness to it shouldn't be too hard I think there is a place for this kinda thing but only backed up by the right service. You can't just expect your robot to be cute and have that as it's one main selling point. For comparison, Google Home is like 40 bucks and it can do far far FAR more than Jibo
@@jordirapper You'd think Google would do that, but they don't excel at designing human interfaces. 10+ years since Android launched, finally gets a dark mode.
Seems like most work was done on the design. Put an Amazon or google assistant inside the Jibo robot shell. Would be pretty cool. Fix up the display and give it more expressions.
That's probably from the design of Jibo, it makes you willing to connect with it Jibo's ability to speak, move, react, remember, and listen make it more human to us.
No you can't get a refund because you basically invested in funding a developing product. It's not the same as pre-ordering something I wish people would understand the difference.
i feel like everything you listed wrong with jibo could have been addressed, most could have just been patched or fixed with a update, or things like the screen not matching could have been fixed with a second version . sad its ending cause i am just now learning about this and would have loved to own one
I mean this is almost unfair. Apple and amazon and google have spent probably over $1 billion (?more even) on the technology. No small company really has a chance. Sure you can use the API and this probably does- either an out of the box amazon AWS, and google cloud api, or Microsoft apis (Apple doesn’t have one to my knowledge) they almost definitely don’t give you the best the best tech- and even the api’s take tons of configuration and pre-programming.
But you also cannot expect customers to pay a lot of money just to support small companies. If only U.S. anti-trust laws were actually properly enforced so that those huge companies could be dismembered...
I think someone probably should buy them out. The way it moves and responds does seem very life like. I could see this as a sort of interfaced housing thing for already existing devices that are far superior to it. If I could open a bottom plate and dock Alexa inside of it. And if doing that would make an Alexa that behaves like JIBO. And if I could do that for less than $200. Might be worth the novelty.
The design team really did nail his movement; even in 2018, I'm extremely impressed. The first thing I said when I saw it move in this video was, "someone should buy these guys out". Unfortunately, on the software end, it seems like this is one of the devices that was slightly ahead of its time. The $900 pricepoint is absurd though. I'm assuming it's probably like the late Juicero, which was another startup and was extremely over-engineered, but had a ridiculously good build quality. But that drives up the price so much that you will never appeal to the mass-market. I'd be curious to see one taken apart and inspected by someone like AvE.
Yeah in a lot of ways it can be terrible to be among the first with an invention. Especially if you're last to market. Because then it's no longer about how cool it is. It's about what you get vs. buying from the other guy. So much R&D down the drain. Their only real hope of turning a profit at this point is if something about it is worth buying out.
yeah I'd be very tempted to try to find an exploit to wire Google Assistant through it. That would be a huge competitor in the new age household assistant market.
can you do that just bid way over the asking price of a thing on eBay then cancel your bid at the last second. That seems pretty broken if you can because I could see people taking advantage of it.
It's a cool design, I would like to see them incorporate the features of the Google home or Amazon Alexa as well as upgrading things like their display. I think this is where this is going to go in the future.
Although at this point, the best thing that can happen is for Amazon or Google or Apple to just buy them out and use the patents in their own devices...
Elliston James amazon needs to figure this out, she should only recognize registered voices and not trigger unless a recognized voice says her name. That solves more than one problem, it also keeps your kids from ordering shit without permission, keeps visitors from peeking into your private info just by asking Alexa, keeps anything that remotely resemble “X-ah” from triggering Alexa, etc etc etc
Gewdvibes You can fix all of that yourself by dicking with the settings for 30 goddamn seconds. Not sure what private info Echo has access to, either. Granted, I don't have a Echo Show or Spot, but still....
He didnt make it shut down. He was giving feedback and then the company responded right back and made improvements on it. His information made Jibo better
Paladin Boyd Alexa tends to give subjective information when asked questions that should have pretty straightforward objective answers. My cousin got one a while back and being that he’s a religious guy, so I like to fuck with him from time to time. I started asking Alexa a bunch of random things like “was Muhammad a sexy bitch” and the like. But the more things I asked the more it seemed Alexa shared my cousin’s faith. Then I started asking about Christian stuff like “who was Jesus” and she said he was a fictional character of the Bible. Now I’m the atheist of the family but even I concede that Jesus was in fact a real guy that the bulk of scholars agree existed. I will say that I invested more of time into the thing than I care to admit but a glaring issue is when it comes to nearly anything on the “American List of PCs that shall not be discussed”, it was glaringly obvious she cites more skewed opinions rather than facts. TLDR: Fun for hours, not a good source for a thesis paper.
I still sometimes wish this style of assistant became the norm. Its prolly not for everyone, but if Amazon or Google made a similar style robot instead of just a speaker, and added facial rec, I’d easily pick one up assuming it wasn’t outrageously more then a normal Alexa
Well they could use the Samsung version, that phone OLED thingy (forgot the name? Super amoled?) I got it on my phone 5-6 (7?) years ago, and it wasnt too expensive either. It has nearly 100 % blacks, its amazing. ;p

I wanna know who the idiot is that jumped the bid from I think it was around 1,600 to 10,000.
May just beat out bitcoin after all

Is this trending because of shirtless Linus?
I'm pretty sure.

It can't hurt.

Maybe google wants this to work as a hit piece on something that's competing against their own products
Alexa: What can you do that i can't?
Jibo: *Starts twerking*
Alexa: Am i a joke to you?
At least it actually got sent to its backers, something indygogo and kickstarter campaigns fail to do the majority of the time
The twerking kind of makes it worth it
Linus 6pack tips
R.I.P Jibo, the real owners will miss you...
It's a cool design, I would like to see them incorporate the features of the Google home or Amazon Alexa as well as upgrading things like their display. I think this is where this is going to go in the future.
How it moves is really cool, and sort of life like.
Although at this point, the best thing that can happen is for Amazon or Google or Apple to just buy them out and use the patents in their own devices...
It can twerk?! Hell Im buying two😂
That'll be $1800 USD, which is equivalent to a grand total of 1,404 of $0.78 Nissin cup noodles.
Good deal yes?
You can't really but them anymore (only Used)

Thank you for spelling Alexa instead of saying it!
Elliston James amazon needs to figure this out, she should only recognize registered voices and not trigger unless a recognized voice says her name. That solves more than one problem, it also keeps your kids from ordering shit without permission, keeps visitors from peeking into your private info just by asking Alexa, keeps anything that remotely resemble “X-ah” from triggering Alexa, etc etc etc
And this is why I changed the wake up word for my Echo ;p
+Elliston James
*triggered
Gewdvibes You can fix all of that yourself by dicking with the settings for 30 goddamn seconds. Not sure what private info Echo has access to, either. Granted, I don't have a Echo Show or Spot, but still....
Nice one Linus, you made Jibo's company shutdown.
He didnt make it shut down. He was giving feedback and then the company responded right back and made improvements on it. His information made Jibo better
Topothetop stop
Lol continue
I’d love to see the JIBO body for an Alexa.
theres a better one..:Lynx
That’d be awesome if Alexa wasn’t so damn bias.
lg hub robot you're welcome
NaptownSubaru, Bias?

Alexa tends to give subjective information when asked questions that should have pretty straightforward objective answers. My cousin got one a while back and being that he’s a religious guy, so I like to fuck with him from time to time. I started asking Alexa a bunch of random things like “was Muhammad a sexy bitch” and the like. But the more things I asked the more it seemed Alexa shared my cousin’s faith. Then I started asking about Christian stuff like “who was Jesus” and she said he was a fictional character of the Bible. Now I’m the atheist of the family but even I concede that Jesus was in fact a real guy that the bulk of scholars agree existed. I will say that I invested more of time into the thing than I care to admit but a glaring issue is when it comes to nearly anything on the “American List of PCs that shall not be discussed”, it was glaringly obvious she cites more skewed opinions rather than facts.
TLDR: Fun for hours, not a good source for a thesis paper.
It can twerk? WHERE IS MY WALLET?

DISGOSTANG
But it's a HE...
Its just staring at you while your destroying it's dreams
TheIndianTribe LOL
Its trying so hard
I still sometimes wish this style of assistant became the norm. Its prolly not for everyone, but if Amazon or Google made a similar style robot instead of just a speaker, and added facial rec, I’d easily pick one up assuming it wasn’t outrageously more then a normal Alexa
Still less than the IPhone X
Pastel Pigicorn you can buy a $70 iphone 4s and have siri do more than this
Rosie Siri can't twerk....
iTechTips i stand corrected
😂
well they sold this one for $25000
Alexa doesn't twerk though 😌
She's encouraging your imagination...
Really no OLED on that eye? WTF design team.
HappyBuggy To be fair, a high resolution, high quality OLED display was expensive back when JIBO was on Indiegogo.
Well they could use the Samsung version, that phone OLED thingy (forgot the name? Super amoled?) I got it on my phone 5-6 (7?) years ago, and it wasnt too expensive either. It has nearly 100 % blacks, its amazing. ;p
Thank you linus, Thank you for jibo shutting down. I hope your happy now.
