Model Variations

Although most of their software and functionality is the same, there are some differences between SociBot versions.

Version specific information can be found under separate subheadings. Unless otherwise noted, the guides in this wiki are applicable to all SociBot versions.

  • Socibot Kiosk
  • Socibot Mini

SociBot Kiosk

Socibot kiosk 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.

It intended for information delivery in public venues, or anywhere requiring non-expert human interaction, such as schools or reception areas.

SociBot Mini

Socibot Mini is a more compact robot with a truncated torso and no touchscreen. The on-board sensors and hardware are identical to the larger SociBot.

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.

Installation requirements

  • Suitable for indoor use only. Recommended room temperature: 10°C - 30°C, relative humidity: 45% - 60%
  • Standard domestic mains power in the range 100v - 250v AC
