# High-Five Robots GIMI-5 is a Future Robot from RPA That Gives High-Fives By Laura McQuarrie | Published 2016-03-15 | Tech Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/future-robot References: [mediapost](http://www.mediapost.com/publications/article/271114/rpa-gives-good-karma-at-sxsw-with-gimi-5-robot.html) & [rpa](http://www.rpa.com/gimi5/) Many future robot designs are created to make the lives of humans a little bit better, but this one from RPA goes about doing this in a different way through a simple mission to spread love. RPA's 'GIMI-5' robot is also known as the "karma-bot" and collects "Internet love" from social media likes, favorites and mentions in order to turn them into "real-world love" by giving out high-fives. For instance, any time the #GIMI5 tag is used, GIMI-5 makes sure someone in the real world feels the love through a high-five, which gives a tangible feel to positive interactions that take place on social media. With its debut at this year's SXSW event, GIMI-5 spread plenty of positivity. On its website, RPA details that more than 1,400 high-fives have been given out in response to more than 1,300 social media mentions. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.2/10 - Popularity: 40% | Activity: 77% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) > [AI](https://www.trendhunter.com/ai) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Robot Love:** The GIMI-5 robot from RPA demonstrates the trend of using robots to spread love and positivity through real-world interactions. - **Social Media Interaction:** The GIMI-5 robot's ability to give high-fives based on social media mentions reflects the trend of integrating social media interactions into physical experiences. - **Emotional Robotics:** The GIMI-5 robot showcases the trend of designing robots with the purpose of evoking positive emotions and enhancing human well-being. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Robotics:** The robotics industry can explore the disruptive innovation opportunity of developing robots focused on fostering emotional connections and spreading positivity. - **Social Media:** The social media industry can consider leveraging the concept of physical manifestations of online interactions, such as high-fives, to enhance user engagement and satisfaction. - **Marketing and Advertising:** In the marketing and advertising industry, there is potential to create interactive campaigns that integrate social media mentions with real-world interactions to amplify positive brand experiences. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Interactive Companion Care-Bots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fourier-g3.md) - [Remote-Controlled Humanoid Robots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mimi-humanoid-robot.md) - [Humanoid Robot Technologies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/advanced-humanoid.md) - [Empathetic Interactive Game Robots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/forhpeus.md) - [Child-Friendly Service Robots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/next-generation-service-robot.md) - [Back-Targeting Massage Robots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/massage-robot.md) - [Robotic Desktop Companions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/robot-concept.md) - [Dexterous Robotics Hands](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sharpawave.md) - [Real Life Cinematic Robots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/g1t4m1n1-droid.md)
