Asus is really pushing forward with its Eee range of devices. Not content with a netbook, PC, keyboard, and most recently news of an Eee Pad tablet, it now looks like a robot is also in development called Eee Bot.
Asus hasn’t released any details of such a device, but the government of Taiwan is thought to be sponsoring the project as the robot is aimed at helping educate children.
Eee Bot will take advantage of the Google Android operating system and, as with all Eee devices, won’t cost the earth.
No specific details have been forthcoming, but it is thought this is a project Asus is handling on its own. Specific features will include human-computer interaction, voice recognition, visual recognition (facial rec?), and the ability to move around an area using navigation technology.
Even though the robot will be cheap to buy additional revenue will be generated from service and content for it – an app store for a robot more or less.
