# Resolution-Encouraging Robots The MOTI Gadget Motivates Consumers to Keep Their New Year's Goals By M | Published 2016-01-08 | Tech Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/new-years-goals References: [fastcoexist](http://www.fastcoexist.com/3055072/this-cute-robot-will-teach-you-to-keep-your-new-years-resolutions?partner=rss) & [moti.io](http://www.moti.io/) As consumers aim to stay true to their New Year's goals and resolutions, the MOTI robot might be a helpful device to ensure consumers stay on track. The tiny device analyses behaviour and habits to help consumers stick to their long-term plans more effectively. Creating New Year's resolutions is a tradition for many, but often can be hard to keep up with in the long term. The Motive gadget is an ideal sidekick to help consumers stick to their goals. The device is a miniature cylinder robot that can be placed on the user's desk. The device can then be programmed to a habit the consumer wants to maintain and will act as a digital reminder that alerts the user and then rewards them with a light show if the task is completed. This is ideal for habits such as working out, quitting smoking or eating healthy for example. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 0.8/10 - Popularity: 5% | Activity: 10% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% women - Primary generations: 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 - **Behavior-tracking Gadgets:** Behavior-tracking gadgets can help consumers stay on track with their goals by monitoring their habits and providing feedback. - **Motivational Robots:** Motivational robots like MOTI can provide encouragement and rewards to help consumers stick to their long-term plans. - **Desk-sized Assistants:** Desk-sized assistants, such as the MOTI robot, can provide daily reminders and encouragement to help consumers achieve their goals. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Health and Wellness:** The health and wellness industry could benefit from behavior-tracking gadgets and motivational robots to help consumers maintain healthy habits. - **Fitness:** The fitness industry could use desk-sized assistants like MOTI to motivate and encourage consumers to stick to their workout regimens. - **Technology:** The development of behavior-tracking gadgets and motivational robots is an opportunity for the technology industry to innovate and create new products and services for consumers. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Habit Tracking Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/habit-tracking-apps.md) - [Motivational Goal-Tracking Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/disciplined.md) - [AI Goal Trackers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/goalrise.md) - [Habit-Building Wearable Devices](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/day-one-tracker.md) - [AI Habit Trackers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ready-ai-goal-habit-tracker.md) - [AI-Based Habit Development Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/selfx-app.md) - [Socially Motivating Companion Robots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mori-companion-robot.md) - [Goal-Oriented AI Habits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rise-above.md) - [AI-Assisted Intention-Setting Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/insight-timer.md)
