No , this is n’t a cousin of the CueCat , nor is it Apple ’s effort at a robotic ducky ( though would n’t that be hilarious ? ) . The iCat is another robot with facial expressions — contrive by Philips to stimulate and study Human - Robot fundamental interaction . It ’s equipped with a camera , a microphone , a speaker , and a sort of touch sensors and multi - color LEDs , to help the robot interact more fully with its human counterparts and gain some color of a “ personality . ”
It ’s also an movement by Philips to create a “ impertinent companion ” for the menage . It ’ll assist you in daily tasks such as “ transport message , access daily information , selecting your pet music , photos and telecasting or even guarding your rest home . ” All my cat can do is lick itself . I ’d trade it in , if only the white-livered iCat did n’t depend so much like a claymation military action figure .
