Introducing Navel, a new social robot.
Navel is not just a robot; it’s your smart and lovable ally. Imagine chatting with Navel in a language that feels completely natural to you. Navel listens, understands, and responds with empathy.
What sets Navel apart are its extraordinary non-verbal skills. Navel detects faces, senses emotions and responds with matching facial expressions, using its expressive 3D eyes for real eye contact. It’s very simple to use, yet very powerful in its social capabilities.
Designed for care settings, Navel offers social care and interaction in nursing homes, hospitals, and other social facilities. It also serves as a valuable tool in human-robot interaction research, contributing to the exploration of practical applications of AI and robotics.
By providing social care where it’s needed most, Navel helps address the shortage of professional caregivers and improves their working conditions. In doing so, it champions the UN’s goal No. 3: “Ensure healthy lives and promote well-being for all at all ages.”
Navel is made in Munich by navel robotics, blending deep tech, design, care, and AI for good.
Semio is a Los Angeles-based software startup defining the way in which people will live, work, and play with robots in their everyday lives. Semio is developing an operating system, app ecosystem, and developer tools for personal robots. Semio software allows robot developers to rapidly create and deploy robot apps, and allows robot end-users to transparently access and use those robot apps via natural communication, including both speech and body language. What Microsoft Windows did for personal computing—what Android did for smartphones—Semio is doing for personal robots.
