Kuri robot debuts at CES Kuri is a friendly robot designed for the home http://tcrn.
|
|
The looming question is whether Kuri Vision can help turn Kuri into an indispensable life-logger — or will consumers find it uncomfortable and turn it off?
|
|
You can access the videos in the Kuri mobile app and indicate which ones you like and which ones you don't, giving Kuri a better sense of what to record.
|
|
This, I am to presume, means Kuri loves me too.
|

|
An example of the kind of moment Kuri Vision might capture.
|
|
Kuri was once described to me as an intergalactic space penguin. Accurate.
|
|
Kuri and Jibo aren't the only robots that had a dismal year.
|
|
Kuri also appeared on stage at our robotics event, back in May.
|
|
If you order now, you should get your Kuri in early 2018.
|
|
Jibo was priced at $900, while Mayfield Robotics charged $700 for Kuri.
|
|
Kuri trundled over to the window and stared out at the skyline.
|
|
The company plans to roll out a Kuri next spring for $899.
|
|
If you always discard videos of yourself, Kuri will stop gathering those.
|
|
They've also rebuilt the frame, helping Kuri slim down to 12.5 lbs.
|
|
I drove Kuri around using manual app controls and played music over Bluetooth.
|
|
The purees are made from carrots, garnet yams, red Kuri squash, and parsnips.
|
|
And Kuri, a miniaturized R2-D2 that roams around your house taking pictures.
|
|
"Creating a robot like Kuri is a massive undertaking," Mayfield wrote at the time.
|
|
Perhaps the head of a home hub bot, like the Kuri or the Jibo?
|
|
While it looks fun, Kuri is priced as an expensive novelty now at $699.
|
|
Kuri sounds like a useful home companion, and Mayfield did an excellent job of highlighting its strengths in a series of promotional videos (especially the one above where Kuri watches as its owner comes home after a big night out on the town).
|
|
There was also roasted kuri squash skewers with chipotle, guajillo crema, spiced pepitas and cilantro.
|
|
Like a family member, Kuri can recognize people with its built-in facial recognition software.
|
|
When I first tested Kuri at CES in 2017, the robot didn't have much functionality.
|
|
We've written several times about Kuri, a self-driving robot that responds to voice commands.
|
|
You can download and share them elsewhere, but there's no social sharing within Kuri itself.
|
|
"In my culture, we have this saying: Kutenda kwakitsi kuri mumoyo," Chirowa switches into Shona.
|
|
Then he conducted the test drive with an updated Kuri, which smoothly navigated the obstacle.
|
|
Kuri is still rated for 2 hours of continuous activity and 1 hour charge time.
|
|
Kuri could also record video and take photos, play games and generally interact with the household.
|
|
Kuri is available for pre-order now and it will ship by the end of 2017.
|
|
Two people familiar with the matter confirmed that Kuri had died, speaking on condition of anonymity.
|
|
Mayfield Robotics, which was developing Kuri, a home companion robot with backing from Robert Bosch G.m.b.
|
|
Mayfield Robotics's Kuri Robot was lovable, functional, and buzzworthy with its cute mannerisms and deft behavioral touches.
|
|
Kuri, a penguin-like helper from Mayfield Robotics, scoots around and looks at you but doesn't speak.
|
|
I'd be interested to see more from Mayfield when it's further along on its Kuri release timeline.
|
|
Kuri can express a lot of emotion with its eyes and a tilt of its round head.
|
|
It's a big step towards making Kuri a robot that feels like it has emotions and warmth.
|
|
It's time to say goodbye to Kuri — a home robot that was essentially an Echo on wheels.
|
|
Kuri also responds to touch if users, especially kids, don't want or know how to use voice controls.
|
|
Mayfield promises "hours of battery life," but does not specify how long Kuri will operate on a charge.
|
|
If you always like video clips of your toddler and the dog, Kuri will capture more of those.
|
|
Stripped of its plastic skin, Kuri now looks more like a consumer electronics product ready for factory production.
|
|
The news came as Bosch determined that there wasn't a place for Mayfield or Kuri in its larger portfolio.
|
|
There's also a 1080p camera that you can use to see what Kuri is seeing when you're not home.
|
|
Kuri moves about on a set of wheels that Mayfield claims can handle a wide variety of floor surfaces.
|
|
Jibo and Kuri mark two recent examples of just how hard it is bringing such a device to market.
|
|
It's not been a great year for home robots, with two high-profile projects — Jibo and Kuri — shuttering operations.
|
|
Kuri, the home robot that wants to be more companion and less Roomba, has begun shipping out to customers.
|
|
Plans to boost jobs include harvesting spirulina algae from the lake and protecting endangered Kuri cattle, UNESCO officials said.
|
|
Kuri could spend the day capturing video, but, using its artificial intelligence, it will only share the best eight.
|
|
There have been some other notable feature and hardware updates since I last saw Kuri at SXSW in Austin.
|
|
The new Aibo is prohibitively expensive at $2,900, but Kuri and Jibo were at least somewhat reasonable for a robot.
|
|
Robots like Jibo, Anki's Cozmo and Mayfield Robotics' Kuri attracted buzz and hundreds of millions of dollars in venture capital.
|
|
Kuri responds to voice input, and in this way is similar to other devices like Google Home or Amazon Echo.
|
|
Approaching robotics from a personality perspective is a novel idea, and possibly one that could make Kuri a tempting purchase.
|
|
As a result, Kuri could not only watch your house, but help you keep tabs on stay-at-home pets.
|
|
He thanked the fishermen of another island in the archipelago, Abd al-Kuri, which lies to the east of Somalia.
|
|
At the very least, the company's got the interest, revenue and funding to avoid the recent pitfalls of Sphero and Kuri.
|
|
Even if robots like Kuri, Jibo, and Aibo are adorable, they carry a bit of Uncanny Valley eeriness in their DNA.
|
|
If you missed it Kuri debuted at CES last year, and has been steadily growing more capable in the intervening months.
|
|
Plenty of these have been unveiled in recent years, including LG's Hub bot, Mayfield Robotics' Kuri, and the Pixar-like Jibo.
|
|
The group includes some of Mexico's most famous contemporary artists: Abraham Cruzvillegas, Damián Ortega, Dr. Lakra, Gabriel Kuri, and Gabriel Orozco.
|
|
The answer — at least a big part of the answer — comes today in the form of a service called Kuri Vision.
|
|
Kuri Vision turns the robot into a family videographer, recording eight videos every day, each of them five seconds in length.
|
|
As I mentioned, the videos are automatically uploaded to the Kuri app after they're recorded, but they're only shared with you.
|
|
Kuri now also sounds better, both when making its incredibly cute noises in response to user input, and when playing music.
|
|
In July, Mayfield announced that it was ending the manufacture of Kuri, the home assistant it debuted at CES back in 2015.
|
|
Also in the race to conquer the home is Kuri, the charming little robot that follows you around and takes your picture.
|
|
However, it announced in July that it would stop manufacturing Kuri, and followed with an announcement that it would cease operations altogether.
|
|
Its name is Kuri and it can be your little buddy to always remind you that you never have to be alone.
|
|
The truth about Vector is more modest, though the product does seem like a much more mainstream solution than the recently departed Kuri.
|
|
Despite being on track in January with shipments, by the end of August, Mayfield Robotics announced it was shuttering operations and canceling Kuri.
|
|
It's tempting to think of Kuri as a rolling Echo with the ability to blink, but the robot is much more than that.
|
|
Kuri, the smart home robot from Bosch internal startup Mayfield Robotics, won a lot of hearts when it debuted at CES in January.
|
|
The companies that make Jibo and Kuri both folded last year, but not before thousands of people brought those bots into their homes.
|
|
The service takes advantage of the vision capabilities that the company announced recently, with Kuri able to recognize family members and even pets.
|
|
To demonstrate, Beebe set up a 1-inch thick wooden door saddle on the floor and, using the app, navigated Kuri over it.
|
|
This, along with a reengineering of the cushion the wheels have when they roll over objects, results in a much more stable Kuri.
|
|
You don't know how a real cat or dog might react to a Roomba, but you definitely can't predict how it'll interact with Kuri.
|
|
It also gives the company solid footing to launch a robot like the pricier Vector, even as companies like Sphero and Kuri have stumbled.
|
|
The Genesis of Kuri, the Friendly Home RobotOn the other hand, cute little companion robots aren't meant for you to fall in love with.
|
|
Kuri included a camera so it could act like a pseudo-security bot and family filmographer, on top of purring when you pat it.
|
|
To name a few: Kuri, a robot designed to rove around your home, looks like a cartoon character and expresses itself in emotive bloops.
|
|
Beebe expects Kuri to automatically return to base for charge when it isn't being used so Kuri's owner never really notices it being away.
|
|
We first met Kuri at CES 2017, and it wasn't yet able to showcase all the features it was promised to have in the future.
|
|
Kuri also now sports a better vision system, which includes a 1080p HD camera, which is now fully integrated with the rest of its systems.
|
|
That's usually a not-so-great sign for home robots—which had an awful 2018 as many buzzworthy robots like Jibo and Kuri shuttered operations.
|
|
On the flip side, one piece by Kuri, "Maqueta Para Desfile" ("Mockup for a Parade," 2010), seems to allude to a closed way of seeing.
|
|
I met with Beebe and Matthews in July, when they walked me through Kuri Vision and also gave me a broader demo of Kuri's capabilities.
|
|
In 2015, after studying textile design at Puebla's Universidad Ibero, local Denisse Kuri opened her namesake boutique just west of downtown in Colonia La Paz.
|
|
The company is the second major robotics firm to close in recent months, with Mayfield Robotics, makers of the social robot Kuri, shutting down in August.
|
|
Veteran broadcaster Joaquin Lopez-Doriga said on Twitter that businessman Jose Kuri had died after testing positive for coronavirus following a trip to the United States.
|
|
Kuri differs from these prior robots because Mayfield stressed the importance of a personality during the design process, which comes through in Kuri's expressive eyes and demeanor.
|
|
However, Kuri may succeed because of the surprising level of intelligence packed inside at what is, for a robot of its kind, a relatively affordable price: $699.
|
|
In a letter to backers today, Bay Area-based Mayfield Robotics said it was "crushed" to announce that it has ceased manufacturing of its home robot, Kuri.
|
|
All videos are initially stored on the robot, and the best are uploaded to the cloud where you access them through the Kuri app (iOS or Android).
|
|
Instead of off-the-shelf daughter boards, the company started building its own boards and simplifying the construction, which should help when Kuri hits the assembly line.
|
|
And even though Kuri and Jibo had lovely personalities, their functionality was eclipsed by much more affordably priced smart home assistant speakers like Amazon Echo and Google Home.
|
|
Bosch subsidiary Mayfield Robotics has Kuri, and automakers including Toyota and Honda have their own approach, which a focus on independence for people continuing into our senior years.
|
|
Kuri needed to inspire trust in its users, and so the design process involved eliminating any motion, sound or type of movement that would potentially unnerve its users.
|
|
Mayfield Robotics is asking pre-order customers to put down a $100 deposit now for Kuri reservations, with the balance of its $699 asking price due at shipment.
|
|
As CEO Mike Beebe explained to me, Kuri uses that knowledge to shoot its videos, based on factors like who's present, the time of day and the location.
|
|
The companies behind Jibo and Kuri, two other home robots that caught media attention for their bubbly, almost human-like personalities, also shut down over the past year.
|
|
The robot homecoming is upon us Home robots have already had a few false starts, including some high-profile flare-outs like Anki and previous CES darling Kuri.
|
|
It had a strong second-year showing at CES 2300, and when I talked to CEO Mike Beebe, he said Kuri was on track and on time for shipments.
|
|
The companion robots that science fiction has promised us for so long have finally hit the United States, and leading the way is an adorable little machine called Kuri.
|
|
"In Mexico, right now, there is no justification to tell a woman not to get pregnant when we only have cases in three places," Kuri said in an interview.
|
|
The idea, Chris Matthews, the VP of marketing, tells me, is that when kids get home from school, Kuri will automatically send a text to their parents letting them know.
|
|
Since the cancellation of its Kuri robot, Mayfield Robotics had been looking for external partners for long-term technology development, but was unable to find investment to support its future.
|
|
The 1080p virtual eyes mean that Kuri can stream live in top quality, as well as capture still images and video while interacting with the family for some memorial keepsakes.
|
|
"We're trying to have this really immediate dialogue that is there anytime, 24 hours a day," said José Kuri, a founder of Kurimanzutto, the blue-chip gallery sponsoring the billboard.
|
|
Home robots have already had a few false starts, including some high-profile flare-outs like Anki and previous CES darling Kuri (despite the backing of global technology giant Bosch) .
|
|
Mayfield Robotics staff was testing Kuri in their homes when, according to CEO Mike Beebe, they noticed that some of the best images the robot had captured were totally unexpected.
|
|
Less than a month after Mayfield Robotics said it was stopping production on its Kuri home robot, the company announced today on its blog that the company will be shutting down.
|
|
The Kuri team has provided some updates on its progress in developing the robot, including news that its visual intelligence system can now identify and recognize pets, including dogs and cats.
|
|
" This is a shocking turnabout for Kuri, which was initially hailed by a prominent tech blog as possibly one day "[replacing] your little brother as the cutest member of your family.
|
|
"While client growth has been impressive, the company's ability to monetize clients is not evident," Morgan Stanley analyst Jorge Kuri said in a note, commenting on the bank's second-quarter results.

|
|
Jesús Seade Kuri, the under secretary for North America at the Mexican foreign ministry, was in Washington this month to meet with legislators and lobby for passage of the Nafta replacement.
|
|
This likely won't come as a surprise to anyone who saw the news late last month, but Mayfield Robotics, maker of the adorable home robot Kuri announced today that it's ceasing operations.
|
|
But Kuri doesn't respond with words; instead, it uses sounds, lights and its expressive eyes to communicate responses back to a user – all of which is a key part of its design.
|
|
In terms of robots for the home, this year also offered its fair share, including Mayfield Robotics' Kuri, an as-yet-unseen model from Misty Robotics, and prototypes from LG and Sony.
|
|
The gathering was hosted by Kuri, a video-taking, photo-snapping, chirping bot on wheels, made by Mayfield Robotics ($899), that resembled a two-foot-high salt shaker with blinking hazard lights.
|
|
El Dr. Kuri afirmó que la CDC estaban "en su derecho" de emitir la advertencia de viaje, pero alegó que no tiene sentido cuando el virus ha aparecido solo en tres estados mexicanos.
|
|
It's a good strategy, and one that will hopefully help Kuri have more broad appeal at launch, since it doesn't require connecting a whole host of third-party services to become truly functional.
|
|
Mayfield sold me on its robot's personality and the chance to interact with an electronic family member, but I couldn't even issue voice commands and Kuri couldn't respond with cute light-up reactions.
|
|
Spring Gallery Guide When Kurimanzutto opened in Mexico City in 1999, Mónica Manzutto and her husband, José Kuri, along with the artist Gabriel Orozco, wanted to create something different from an ordinary commercial gallery.
|
|
Kuri is also different from things like Home or Echo because it's designed to be its own robot; that is, at launch at least, it won't have a long list of third-party integrations.
|
|
Kuri is not the Jetsons' Rosie, or R22D2100, but it is a step in that direction, and one that focuses on the big elements still needed for getting us to that future – interaction design.
|
|
Promo videos showed it working as a moving home security camera that was controllable through the Kuri app, but in the demonstration we saw, it only had as much functionality as a Bluetooth speaker.
|
|
And while home bots like Jibo and Kuri might have failed in part because they couldn't live up to users' expectations of functionality, a robot that's designed to be loved can sidestep this problem.
|
|
Deputy health minister for prevention Pablo Kuri said this week that there have been 18 confirmed cases of the virus in so far, but that this is not enough to warrant declaring an alert.
|
|
Dr. Kuri said the C.D.C. was "within its rights" to issue the travel warning, but he argued that the blanket admonition did not make sense when the virus has appeared in only three Mexican states.
|
|
Pre-orders are still ongoing, but any purchases of Kuri now won't ship until next year, the company says – the first robots should still going to start rolling out to early buyers by December, however.
|
|
I find myself thanking Alexa absent-mindedly when using my Echo, but I'd never consider Amazon's virtual assistant a companion, per se; with Kuri, I find myself already coveting its affection even without owning one.
|
|
Not only were Sesame Street's finest on camera, but we got to see lots of cool new tech like the Kuri robot and Levi's Jacquard denim jacket with a built-in touchpad on its sleeve.
|
|
Kuri stressed that there was no danger at altitudes of 1,800 meters or above, and promised a public information campaign targeted at pregnant women in high risk areas to reduce the chance of getting bitten.
|
|
"The problem is that there is a list of things Lynx can do, and once you've gone through them all, it gets boring," Fiona said, perfunctorily patting Kuri on its head to elicit a purr.
|
|
Domestic robots are sort of here, with self-driving and speakers that control your smart home, but Mayfield Robotics' Kuri could be the first real home robot, combining mobility and true interaction with approachable, friendly design.
|
|
Their first product is Kuri, an intelligent home robot making its official debut at CES this year, with pre-orders beginning in the U.S. and a target ship date of sometime during the holidays in 14328882878.
|
|
In that same vein, Kuri can also look in the direction of sounds now, so if you speak or laugh or talk to someone else it'll look up at you with those glowing, oddly expressive eyes.
|
|
This will allow Kuri to move around more smoothly, while also making less noise and improving overall traction, so that the robot is better able to handle multiple and changing indoor surfaces, including carpets and rugs.
|
|
Ms. Greenspan occasionally makes sheet-pan chicken with hard winter squash, or roasts a nutty red kuri squash with some honey and warm spices like cumin, but she admits she doesn't cook with pumpkin that much.
|
|
The final details closely echo the story of recently shuttered industrial robotics company Rethink, along with fellow home robot, Kuri, both of which ultimately failed to find either an investor or buyer to keep the dream alive.
|
|
Mayfield Robotics, a Bosch start-up, is trying to make the home robot more personality-driven and lovable with the introduction of its Kuri robot today, a project that's been in the works for nearly two years.
|
|
He met a lot of artists, saw his first bullfights, and had many long conversations with José Kuri and his wife, Mónica Manzutto, the owners of the Kurimanzutto gallery, which gave him a show the next year.
|
|
The gallery was founded in 1999 by Kuri, Mónica Manzutto, and Gabriel Orozco to address what was then a shortage of contemporary exhibition space in Mexico City and to help artists connect their work to more people.
|
|
Mayfield's whole goal, again, is to make a Kuri feel like a part of the family first, because it thinks that's the key to creating a domestic bot that people will actually want to have around and use.
|
|
Kuri first broke cover at CES 2017, when the small robot, which looks a bit like an upside-down exclamation mark, won over media and audiences alike, melting the hearts of cynical jaded tech bloggers far and wide.
|
|
MEXICO CITY (Reuters) - Mexico's health ministry late on Sunday rejected media reports that the country had registered its first coronavirus death, saying that the person reported to have died, businessman Jose Kuri, was alive but in critical condition.
|
|
Mayfield Robotics has already started seeding beta Kuris with some lucky users, but the rest of the world will have to wait until the end of this year, when Kuri is expected to go on sale for $799.
|
|
Dr. Pablo Kuri Morales, Mexico's undersecretary for Prevention and Health Promotion, said in a telephone interview on Saturday that Mexico had diagnosed 15 cases of Zika, 10 of them in the state of Chiapas, on the border of Guatemala.
|
|
Right now, home robots like the failed Kuri and Jibo, the revamped Aibo, or even voice assistants like Alexa, Siri, and Google Assistant, have never been able to do more than a one-or-two-line back and forth.
|
|
What with its unassuming — even "cute" — design and ability to autonomously decide to film people and pets in your home, Kuri represented a stark departure from the blind robo-murder dogs we have all grown to regard with caution.
|
|
El Dr. Pablo Kuri Morales, subsecretario mexicano de Prevención y Promoción de la Salud, reveló en entrevista telefónica el sábado que México había diagnosticado 15 casos de zika, 10 de ellos en el estado de Chiapas, en la frontera con Guatemala.
|
|
Kuri will also capture candid moments of your family with a video recording feature – though you have full control over when and where it'll do that, or whether it'll do it at all, in case you're nervous about privacy issues.
|
|
Made by Mayfield Robotics in Silicon Valley, Kuri—which starts shipping in December—will roll around your house and respond to your voice and recognize faces and take video of your dinner parties, if you're into that sort of thing.
|
|
There was Jibo, the stationary desktop robot that danced and died an early death, and Kuri, the R2-D2-esque machine that rolled around taking pictures of your dinner party before rolling into the Great Robotic Gig in the Sky.
|
|
By this time, Lynx was malfunctioning—he'd bowed his head and sunk into a deep lunge suggesting an N.F.L. protester—and Kuri was having a hard time parking into its charging dock, perhaps, Capasso theorized, because of a weak WiFi signal.
|
|
For other clues as to what Vesta could look like, if and when it ever launches, a good model might be Kuri, the robot developed by Bosch internal startup Mayfield Robotics which was shuttered a year ago and never made it to market.
|
|
Both iOS and Android apps are available to help control and interact with Kuri when you're not using him (Mayfield genders the robot male in press materials and conversation) and it also seeks out its charging pad when its battery needs topping up.
|
|
Kuri creator Mayfield Robotics, a Bosch-owned startup, revealed that its initial shipments have gone out via FedEx – which means it technically met its goal of beginning to ship the photogenic little friend bots prior to the end of 2017, if only just.
|
|
At the time, Kuri opened for pre-orders, with a ship date of holiday season in 2017, and since then Mayfield has been providing regular updates about what Kuri's gaining to keep customers confident their robo buddies are indeed on their way.
|
|
There are 18 cases of Zika in Mexico, with 13 in the southern state of Chiapas, four in the northern state of Nuevo Leon and one in the western state of Jalisco, said Pablo Kuri, deputy minister for prevention and health promotion.

Recipe: Kuri Squash, Mushroom and Kale Tart With Rosemary Crust LOOKS Also known as mashed potatoes or white acorn squash, this hybrid arrived a few years ago — a sharply lobed oval, smaller than most acorn squash, and indeed white inside and out.
|
|
Advertise on Hyperallergic with Nectar Ads On April 17, the BelgianArtPrize announced its four shortlisted candidates for the 2019 edition of the Prize: Sven Augustijnen, Koenraad Dedobbeleer, Gabriel Kuri, and artist duo Jos de Gruyter and Harald Thys — all of them white men.
|
|
Mayfield Robotics' Kuri is an expressive bowling pin that will steal your heart and hopes to become a key element of your family's home life, and its latest updates make it better at capturing cherished memories, at recognizing fuzzy friends, and at getting around.
|
|
The team at Mayfield Robotics wanted very much to create a satisfying, full experience from the moment you unpack Kuri, and so the focus was not on opening up integrations from day one, but instead on building something you'll feel has value all on its own.
|
|
Two machines in particular surfaced to much fanfare: Kuri, an adorable R2D2 analog that can follow you around and take pictures of your dinner parties, and Jibo, a desktop robot with a screen for a face that works a bit like Alexa, only it can dance.
|
|
Part of the problem is that robots like Kuri and Jibo didn't offer much more functionality than the devices we already have in our homes — devices like the Amazon Echo, Google Home, smart home security cameras, and our smartphones already help feed us information and perform common tasks, with more flexibility and a lower price than any home robot.
|
|
Kuri was originally unveiled almost a year ago at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, and it's been steadily getting smarter and closer to production-ready status since then, with regular updates from the roboticists at Mayfield, who wanted to create a domestic robot that wasn't just functional, but that would be welcomed in as a virtual member of the family.
|
|
Kuri is a cute, intelligent robot for the home designed by Mayfield Robotics, a Bosch start-up out of Redwood City, CA. It can understand facial expressions, cruise around your house and connect with smart home devices, and it's got a built-in HD camera you can access with an app, letting you check in on your pets while you're away.
|
