ASUS has finally ventured into robotics with the introduction of Zenbo – a small robot designed to be used at home.
ASUS is marketing the Zenbo as a home companion that can help with basic tasks. It can see, hear, talk, and move. It features a touch display that it also uses as its face and show information requested by its user.
In addition, it can connect to and control smart home devices, learn and adopt to your services, entertain, take photos, react to emergencies, set reminders, and make calls. Watch the video below to see it in action.

At this price, it would be a “cheap” must-have technology for tech-oriented colleges/universities like AMA, UP Eng, etc. It’s practically just the price of an iPhone. Maybe this can jumpstart a robotics revolution in schools/campuses that have to be content tinkering with robots that look more like cars than Voltes V!
