Socibot kiosk is intended for information delivery in public venues, or anywhere requiring non-expert human interaction, such as schools or reception areas. It comes with integrated touchscreen, has (non-functional) arms to enhance its human-like appearance, and a 1.2m base which serves to raise the robot to eye level.

SociBot Desktop

Socibot-Mini is a more compact robot. The on-board sensors and hardware are identical to the larger SociBot, however they have been given a more compact shell, without a stand or an in-built touchscreen. This robot is perfect for desktop operation, for example in a lab or office environment.

Both versions have extensible software and provide USB and network connection, to allow use of your own hardware and interface devices.
