“The internet is ruled by videos and GIFs. With the rise of instant messaging, they have become a part of our daily vocabulary. We use them to succinctly express information, emotions, thoughts, feelings, and reactions when words just won’t do. What if we could give that same freedom of expression to our devices?
Features and Customization
Peeqo is truly one of a kind and is designed with one thing in mind – to provide little moments of delight and entertainment to get you through your day. You also get to build him yourself. Peeqo comes as an affordable and easy-to-assemble DIY kit suitable for people of all ages and skill levels, so you too can experience the joy of building and customizing your own robot. The kit includes all the necessary components, such as a Raspberry Pi, a screen, and a speaker, along with detailed instructions to guide you through the assembly process.
One of the standout features of Peeqo is its ability to be customized. Users can program Peeqo to respond to specific commands or triggers with their favorite videos and GIFs. This makes Peeqo not just a robot, but a reflection of your personality and preferences. Whether you want Peeqo to greet you with a funny meme in the morning or provide a motivational video during a work slump, the possibilities are endless.
Applications and Use Cases
Peeqo is not just a toy; it has practical applications that can enhance your daily life. For instance, Peeqo can be used as a personal assistant to remind you of important tasks or appointments. Imagine Peeqo playing a video clip of your favorite TV show character reminding you to take a break or drink water. This makes mundane tasks more enjoyable and engaging.
Moreover, Peeqo can serve as an educational tool for children. By interacting with Peeqo, kids can learn basic programming and robotics skills in a fun and interactive way. The robot can also be used in classrooms to make learning more engaging. Teachers can program Peeqo to display educational videos or GIFs related to the lesson, making the learning experience more dynamic.
Peeqo can also be a great companion for the elderly. It can be programmed to play videos that remind them to take their medication or perform daily exercises. The robot’s entertaining responses can also provide emotional support and companionship, making it a valuable addition to any household.
Pledges are available from $149 for the desktop companion robot, and worldwide shipping is expected to take place during September 2019. This makes Peeqo an affordable option for anyone looking to add a bit of tech-savvy fun to their daily routine.
In summary, Peeqo is more than just a robot; it’s a customizable, interactive companion that brings joy and functionality to your everyday life. Whether you’re a tech enthusiast, a parent looking for an educational tool, or someone who just loves GIFs and videos, Peeqo has something to offer.
