Buddy by Blue Frog Robotics may revolutionize the way home robotics are viewed and used. A YouTube video uploaded by Blue Frog Robotics is promoting Buddy, a companion robot that could have positives to your daily life. Buddy has a sleek design with an excellent attitude. It really puts it in a smarter class when comparing it to other tech innovations being launched this year, such as the iPhone 7, or new Android Galaxy model. Could Buddy be smarter than your iPhone? The daily impact Buddy makes on life may be more valuable than sitting on your sofa browsing Facebook, Instagram, and Tweeting for countless hours. But the big question remains, can we trust robots?
YouTube Sensation Buddy
Innovative robots have been making quite a stir in our daily lives. From the curiosity rover on Mars to Buddy on Earth, robots are playing a big role in the human experience. Buddy may not be as technologically advanced as Curiosity, but its contributions may be better. Buddy’s promotional YouTube video has been viewed by more than 275,000 YouTube viewers. It is the first robot in the world with Unity3D and Android power. This possibly makes it smarter than your iPhone. Buddy is celebrated as a robot that protects, connects and interacts. It has app compatibility with an aim of democratizing robotics.
Buddy vs. iPhone
The iPhone can help you streamline your life, and so can Buddy. However, the robotic nature of this device offers users a more interactive experience when compared to an iPhone. Buddy is a watchdog, protecting your home with filming tech. It is also a personal assistant, updating users on their daily schedules. Buddy is also a great playmate for kids, the elderly, and also keeps everyone in touch with video streaming capabilities. Sure, the iPhone may be able to do all of these things as well, but with less interactive properties. Buddy’s price range is a bit higher than the iPhone, ranging from $600 to $800, which may be a deterrent for some. But it may prove to be worth the price after checking out the YouTube video.
Is Robot Technology to Advanced and Dangerous?
Having a Buddy in your home may prove to be a pleasant experience. Some of the YouTube comments on the Blue Frog Robotics Buddy video discuss a robotic World War III scenario, like Terminator and Skynet. The advancing robotics and A.I. tech are not going to turn Buddy into a human killing machine. Having an iPhone in your pocket may be more dangerous than having a small robotic daily helper in your home. You can be tracked and your personal privacy may be at stake if certain apps you are using on your iPhone are hacked. Is Buddy more dangerous than your smartphone?
