After being showcased earlier this year during CES
2018 the San Francisco-based Segway Robotics have now launched an Indiegogo
crowdfunding campaign for the Lomoo robot. Which has already raised over US$ 243,000 thanks over 225 backers. Loomo has been designed to “shape the future of mobile robotics” and offers a
mobile robot and mobile personal ride in the form of a self balancing
transporter powered by Segway, combined with powerful artificial intelligence
thanks to Intel RealSense.
As well as offering the ability to auto-follow,
capture video and take selfies the system can be controlled via, touch, voice,
and gesture and offers a “playful personality” and plenty of interactivity both
to its user and those within its local environment. The Loomo robot also comes
supplied with a free Android SDK and over-the-air updates allowing the Loomo
robot platform to offer endless integration possibilities, say Segway.
Super early bird pledges for the Loomo robot start
at US$ 1,299 offering a 27 percent saving off the recommended retail price which
will take effect once the Indiegogo crowdfunding campaign comes to an end.
Shipping of the Loomo robot is expected to take place during May 2018.
