Keller Rinaudo, one of the computer geeks, wants to build a robot for everyone. Small robot and affordable price which everyone would like to have at home. It's called Romo, whose power is our phone. The robot uses a telephone camera to track our face. You can also manage the robot yourself and connect with it from a different part of the world.
I invite you to watch a short film.
Would you like to have this robot at home?
Can you imagine playing hide-and-seek with help of this robot?
Do you think such projects make sense?

I think that hide-and-seek with such a robot is not even fun. Such a robot can be equipped with very advanced technologies that will not win. What's more, it's much smaller than a human, so it's easier to hide.
I'm more for the development of technologies that can in some way help human than produce next hig-tech toy.
Pretty interesting concept but it's hard to imagine how this would be possible.
I find this project pretty interesting. Using smartphone as the brain of the robot is not a new concept but I can't remember any similar projects that used the same idea. Even if though project failed, it presented a very interesting approach that can be used in some future projects by other entrepreneurs in robotics.
I can't imagine playing with such a robot my self but if I would have kids in the future I can imagine playing with my kid with similar technology if I for example couldn't be around for some reason.
This project never make sense by themselves nevertheless they sort of give public opportunity to imagine how useful it might be and popularize the technology in order to attract funding into the robotic development
I don't think that this robot could really be capable of playing hide-and-seek, at least not for now. It's slow and it doesn't seem to be very agile. It might just be a fun thing for the kids to play with or to talk with the relatives that are away.
Such projects make sense, because each time that we try to make something new, we meet new obstacles on the way. It makes us only better at overcoming them in various ways as well as gives us an idea what area of computer science needs to be developed more before this projects could become as sophisticated as we want them to.
Of coarse, I want a robot, but not this, because it 5 years old now, and didn't in production anymore. Also this robot don't solve real problems, and wasn't so popular. Also the firm that produced it, now is bankrupt. You can read about this here:

Can you imagine playing hide-and-seek with help of this robot?
Now, this robot is useless because of his size and abilities. But I definitely could try to play with some boston dynamics robots.
Do you think such projects make sense?
I this so.
Yes I find this robot interesting especially for kids. But I think that we have analog in intelligent speakers because all that usual human do with such types of devices is just telling commands what need to do.
2) Can you imagine playing hide-and-seek with help of this robot?
No, I'm too old for this ... But for kids this will be useful
3) Do you think such projects make sense?
I think that this project make no sense in real world and we can develop something more useful.
No, because I don't have an Iphone.
Can you imagine playing hide-and-seek with help of this robot?
Maybe. But it would be much more useful if it would have more possibilities than just riding and tilting up and down.
Do you think such projects make sense?
A little. It may be a toy or a mobile camera for controlling small kids in homes when away from their room.
I generally try to avoid too much AI around me, cause I am a conspiracy theory freak, and I think that one day they can take over control . But seriously, I don't really feel like I need more technology around me. Less is the answer.
Can you imagine playing hide-and-seek with help of this robot?
I guess it would be fun. I think I would gladly play with such robot if it could be found on some fares in the city, and not necessarily bought and kept at home. It would be a nice one-time experience.
Do you think such projects make sense?
I think they do. It is only part of the further human development that we go deeper into robotics.
Maybe for someone it makes sense. I would say that it mostly make sense for developer to increase his skill and show everyone that he is able to do something like this. As for me it’s rather funny thing than something handy.
I do not see any point to have it. For what? In my opinion this robot is useless.
Can you imagine playing hide-and-seek with help of this robot?
No, whats with stairs? I could count that. Maybe some day will be robots capable play hide and seek, and I hope that we will be playing with them, not them with us.
Do you think such projects make sense?
In long context yes, it could discover some problems and resolve them. But when to see short term in example to sell them then in my opinion no.
I think that I do not need such a robot at home but I like gadgets so I could to try such solution because it looks interesting.
2. Can you imagine playing hide-and-seek with help of this robot?
No, not really. But a concept is not so stiupid but he has to improve this solution because for now I think that it is not very spectacular.
3. Do you think so projects make sense?
Yes, of course such projects make sense because technology development takes time ans such projects makes us closer to better solution, ideas, electronic devices.
At this stage it's actually useless, hide and seek with grandma? Come on...
All kind of projects with robots are valueable because robots are becoming our helpers in daily routines for example vacuuming robots, smart friidges etc.
Maybe yes, but I think that it is a gadget It is not a "must have".
Can you imagine playing hide-and-seek with help of this robot?
Yes, but it is not my kind of "fun"
Do you think such projects make sense?
Yes, but only for some kind of entertainment.
I don't think at this moment it is really useful, but hey, every project/technology must fail first few times. In my opinion every similar project bring us closer to better and more technology advance solution.
I prefer playing with someone alive.
I can't really think of any use for it except as a gadget or a toy.
I can imagine that, but I would play games like this with real people rather than robots. I prefer robots to have different kind of works in home.
I think that any project that develop in any way technology make sense.
It's not that kind of things that you must have, but I would like to try it. Why not.
Can you imagine playing hide-and-seek with help of this robot?
Oh, in this point of view it's could be good when I was little and used to play hide-and-seek.
Do you think such projects make sense?
Well, it is progress, so it is make sense.
