00:00Excited to see the CES 2025 convention for the last time.

00:06Do you have any good ideas?

00:09How about a space theme?

00:12Relax, you've got me here to help.

00:16Okay, thanks, baby.

00:18First up, the mood.

00:20Okay, what's next?

00:23How many guests will come to visit?

00:26Oh, right, oh.

00:28He'll want his NASA scarf, he loves that one.

00:31Where is it?

00:32All clean and ready.

00:36Thanks, Amy.

00:38Oh, it's so clean.

00:40And it smells nice, too.

00:42Ta-da!

00:43So this is Amy.

00:44She's our interactive AI assistant.

00:46She was really designed to have three main purposes.

00:49So this is her camera that's actually going to be able to do the recording.

00:52The drive pod, which is what we call it,

00:54which you can think of it like her car,

00:56has different cameras and sensors as well,

00:58which allows her to navigate the environment that she's in.

01:01Yeah, for sure.

01:04So this is what we call drive core,

01:06and pretty much you can think of it as Amy's little car

01:09that she's going to use around the house to get around.

01:11And that's where the facial recognition and voice recognition comes in.

01:14So she's able to track on and follow around.

01:18That's your name.

01:35The chat GPT-4 integration makes it really interesting.

01:39Along with the facial recognition and voice recognition,

01:42she's able to store the memory and even recall what past conversations were,

01:46what past memories were.

01:48So it's really like you're talking to another being who's a part of your family.

01:51So in our demonstration that we have over here,

01:53our demonstrator refers to Amy as another family member.

01:57The other thing is that recording feature ensures that all moments are captured.

02:02So it really takes the pressure off of you to capture those special moments

02:05because Amy's around there recording, making sure everything's all good.

02:09And she's going to be able to hold those memories,

02:11not just in your memory, but for you to actually be able to see.

02:14I think the big thing is she creates that comfortability

02:17where it's like a small little pet almost, so to speak.

02:20So people are a lot more comfortable.

02:22The expressive eyes and the interactions are going to just make it,

02:25make people feel a lot more comfortable with the robot itself and the interactions.

02:38The next few years, they're hoping at least within the two to three year mark

02:41to have her live on the market.

02:43And she's also going to come in a variety of different categories,

02:47so different colorways and also different, like she's going to have a clothing line

02:51where you can actually choose and pick.

02:53Again, with that whole customizable companion,

02:55really fit the personality of the user itself.

03:14Okay.

03:20What do you think?

03:21Yeah, I know.

03:38Wow.

03:43Wow.

04:13Wow.
