Polaris robot is a new mobile phone-robot developed through the collaboration of KDDI and Flower Robotics. The robot has a new concept; to acquire a user’s daily activities and behaviors. Then Polaris robot uses TV to communicate these observations to the user, most of the time offering advice and comments. The robot sports a cradle for handheld mobile phones, and is programmed to open up when the cell phone is nearby. Polaris robot automatically charges the phone and accesses the recent data gathered by the handheld unit. The robot can respond physically through the use of lights, sounds, and movement. The robot’s built-in sensors detect magnets placed in the corners of the table, preventing any accidental falls. Polaris robot looks like a cool box inside an egg shell.
