Robot Weight-Loss Coach Helps You Diet

Conveniently forgetting the foodstuff diary while out to be able to dinner, crumpling up the actual exercise plan taped on the fridge or even smacking delete on the full health resolution: easy. Investigating the eyes of some sort of sweet little robot dedicated to helping you lose pounds and announcing that you happen to be throwing in the towel: less. At least that's the purpose of the designers of Autom, a robotic excess weight-loss coach who checks in every day that has a friendly and encouraging chat about her owner's health and fitness goals.

Autom's designers desire that people will turn out to be attached to the trading program, who looks something like Eva from Disney/Pixar's WALL-E, and this the relationship will fortify a person's commitment to better health. A camera in the robot's head keeps the girl blinking eyes turned in the direction of a human while she's talking to him (My eye movements can be strange, as you've almost certainly noticed. The engineers are still working on getting that right, she says inside the video below). Though Autom does not however operate with speech-reputation, she speaks in a new not-so-bad fem-bot voice, whilst her words appear on the front side touchscreen, how the human uses to react.

This YouTube video from this year's CES, the earth's largest consumer technology indicate, features one of the actual robot's creators, Cory Kidd, explain and display how she works.
