Overview

The robot includes a front camera, microphones, and continuous audio and video recording transmitted to the cloud; biometric facial expression datapoints are collected and processed via cloud AI.

Natural language responses are generated using Google Cloud Speech-to-Text, OpenAI, and Anthropic language models, filtered by Embodied before playback. The robot becomes inoperable if parents revoke data consent. Sold at approximately $799 before Embodied wound down operations in late 2023; the product has been discontinued.
