Philips is liscensing a pervasive ambient computing technology called Smart Companion. The Smart Companion is a robotic device that can communicate with users in a natural human-like way, serving as an easy and intuitive intermediary to the technology surrounding us. It will assist people in their daily routine tasks such as sending messages, accessing up-to-date information, selecting their favorite music or movies, or even controlling their home appliances through its use of advanced technologies in speech recognition, computer vision and robotics.
“The Smart Companion bridges the gap between you and the technology in your home,” says Harry Angenent, marketing and business development manager for Philips Home Dialogue Systems. “Its combination of intuitive interaction, functional capabilities and emotional strength makes the Smart Companion unique and well positioned for use in various markets including home entertainment, education, home automation, messaging and even in the care of people such as the elderly.”
