Meet Aido the robot that does anything around the house

There are robots that help out in most things but a new improved robot named Aido which you can now pre-order would floor your robot butler – as it promises to pretty much do anything you need around the house.

Aido will be friends with your weird kid, act as a security guard, remember your schedule and project movies onto the wall to help with anything from cooking to plumbing.

This is the robot to kill all robots with kindness.

More than something like Jibo, which is only as big as a puppy, doesn’t have a face and can’t move, Aido is as big as a child and rolls around on a ball, using auto-balance to prevent a face plant.

Aido is voice-activated, feels touch, recognizes familiar faces and objects, and connects with your smart home devices over Wi-Fi or pairs with the kit’s companion smart plugs in order to create the perfect home environment.

It also comes with an iOS or Android app that you can use to set things like patrol paths for Aido to complete while you are out of the house. The head even comes off so you can use it as a tablet.
