  • In Suite 712 of the Eventi Hotel, high above the sticky June bustle of Midtown Manhattan NY, one a the world's most advanced consumer robots awaits command. Jibo is the first robot designed to be used by the whole family. He's not a niche robot with a single purpose, like a Roomba, nor is he a toy. Available for $499 through a Kickstarter campaign that starts this week, Jibo is designed to tap into the social fabric of a household and help out. The first model, which will ship in 2015, will perform simple tasks like taking voice reminders, fielding phone calls and messages--connecting to the family's phones through Wi-Fi. He will also act as the heart of the home connecting to iPads, TVs and games consoles.
