Bocco, Robot Courier Introduction Message

In the Consumer Electronics Show 2015, robots attract the attention of visitors. One is Bocco. This robot can function as an intermediary for the message.

Reported by the LA Times, Friday, January 9, 2015, this messenger is an artificial robot technology company based in Tokyo, Yukai Engineering Inc. Unlike other robots that serve as entertainment or productivity enhancers, Bocco is a robot that is easy to use, even for the smallest children.

The shape is quite small, so that could be an office desk or table display of learning. Bocco could be considered as a replacement mobile device. Diusungnya wifi connection allows the robot to send and receive messages to and from a smartphone that has the app Bocco.

The system is claimed to be carried Bocco safe from hacking, so that the conversation can be stored properly. On the front there are two buttons, one for voice recording, and another to play the message received.

Unfortunately, there are no buttons on Bocco, thus not allowing the user dialed the police if an emergency. However, each message received at Bocco applications can be converted into a sound that comes out of the robot.

Suitable for parents who want to monitor a child, or someone who wants to send a message to a partner.

"Bocco is not for sale at this time. Most likely the inaugural launch will take place in March," said Masakazu Ohtsuka, technicians from Yukai.
