WWDC, what we will see

By this his time next week, we will know what Apple will reveal at their World Wide Developers Conference.

AKAStudy unveils artificially intelligent Musio robot

We’ve been seeing it for a while how we’re slowly moving into the sci-fi age. This time, we’re getting a smarter robot/personal assistant in Musio. AKAStudy introduced this artificially intelligent robot that can hold conversations with you, share emotions, communicate with devices, and even tell you jokes. The more you interact with Musio, the more it learns new phrases and ideas that it can talk to you about. AKAStudy likened it to a friend even as time goes by.

Musio was first made to help Asian children to learn English but now it has evolved into a smarter digital assistant that works for people of any age. It is available on Indiegogo and comes with three different engines with prices that range from US$99 to $599. The “Simple” engine offers fast CPU with the ability to hold a conversation with Musio; “Smart” provides around 11 hours of battery life and a connection to Sophy; and “Genius” is built with the fastest CPU and longest battery life (14 hours) and connection to Sophy. They even provide add-on packages for developers and for kids.
