Fribo the robot
Fribo is a cat-like robot, designed by Korean researchers, is specifically for young people who live alone.
Fribo encourages people to text and call one another by sharing their daily activities in a virtual living space.
When ‘Fribo’ hears a noise it recognizes, it sends a message to another ‘Fribo’ in a friend’s home, or an entire network of ‘Fribos’ belonging to people you know, and sends them a notification.
