AI robotics startup Rice Robotics is launching an AI-powered companion robot, the FLOKI minibot M1, that integrates blockchain rewards.
Designed to function as a home assistant, the FLOKI minibot M1 helps with everything from offering grocery list reminders and scheduling household activities. As a companion, the AI-powered bot also builds a connection with users by telling stories, sharing advice, listening to music and dancing, and other interactions.
The announcement of this smart companion bot coincides with the rollout of the $RICE token, and as users interact with the robot, they'll get $RICE tokens as part of a system that supports the machine’s training and data collection processes. With this innovation, the company is working toward a decentralized model for data sharing among robots.
