Enabot recently announced the EBO SE and the EBO AIR, social companion robot that allows you to stay connected with your home, your family, and your pets at all times , even when you’re away.
Building on the success of the original EBO S and EBO PRO, described by Mashable as “a smart robot [that] could become your cat’s new BFF” and by GearBrain as “one of the best robots to buy for your home in 2020”, the EBO SE and the EBO AIR are social companion robots, designed to keep your home safe, your pets entertained and your family connected at all times.
Enabot used pet companion robotics as its entry point and released its first product in 2019, which was originally created to solve the issue of pet obesity and pet neglect. However, the EBO evolved to be much more and the EBO SE and AIR represent the next evolutionary step for the home robotic companion. They provide comfort, protection, and companionship for everyone in the family, no matter the distance.
Responding to consumer feedback, Enabot has introduced a number of improvements and added exciting new features. The new EBO allows for multiple users to log in and control the robot. It also comes with night vision, so users can access the camera day and night. The EBO app’s new interface is more user-friendly, and the new wheels, combined with a powerful motor, ensure a smooth ride on all surfaces, including rugs and carpets.
ECO Robot Features
- Remote Monitoring: EBO comes with a real-time 24-hour monitoring function that allows you to safe guard your home at all times.
- APP Remote Control: Control EBO remotely and wirelessly using the EBO app
- Smart Tracking: EBO can detect any moving moving motion that appears in its line of vision. In case of suspicious activities, it will automatically track and notify you immediately.
- Two-way Communication: With its highly sensitive microphone and speakers, EBO allows you to communicate with your family anytime and anywhere.
- Automatic Recharging: When its battery is low, EBO automatically returns to its charging dock to fully recharge.
- Obstacle Avoidance: With built-in advanced ToF technology, EBO is able to avoid collisions and roam around more freely and intelligently.
- Auto-Patrol: Simply schedule a time on the EBO app and EBO will automatically leave its charging dock and start patrolling.
- Photo/Video Recording: Using the 1080p high-definition camera, you can capture every moment in life.
- Bionic Interaction: EBO is able to adapt and change its voice and behavior according to its environment.
Equipped with a 1080p HD camera and a pair of speakers and microphone, the rolling bots allow for real-life two-way communication using a Wi-Fi connection. Through EBO’s mobile app, parents can remotely interact with their kids and pets, and family members can connect with elderly loved ones from anywhere in the world.
The EBO SE and AIR use a combination of movement, sound, and digital eye animations for life-like interactions. The steady and nimble moving robots can wheel, roll and dance to entertain pets and people alike while capturing photos and videos of every special moment. All the data is stored locally, using an expandable SD card.
Surveillance features on both models include 24-hour video recording, infrared night vision, and motion detection notification, which means the EBO will immediately send you an alert whenever suspicious activities are detected. With AI technology, the EBO AIR is able to identify your family and pets, automatically record, track and follow them, allowing for fun interactions throughout the day. Additional AI features include the anti-drop function, pet auto-play mode, and automatic video editing.
