# Autonomous Personal Robots Robotbase Debuts 'Personal Robot' Technology at CES 2015 By Laura McQuarrie | Published 2015-01-12 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/personal-robot-technology References: [kickstarter](https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/403524037/personal-robot) & [robotbase](http://www.robotbase.com/) Although it's been depicted in sci-fi movies and TV for decades, [personal robot technology](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lg-cloid) is now starting to get closer to becoming a reality. Debuted at CES 2015, Robotbase introduced its 'Personal Robot,' a project that introduces an [intelligent assistant for the home](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/namuhx-a1), capable of doing everything from providing wake-up calls to monitoring the home's temperature and air quality. The robot is able to wheel around on her own on a mirror-like pedestal that features a friendly, animated face on it. Like a human, the bot is able to recognize objects, understand you and offer advanced dialogue back. For instance, upon rising, the bot will be able to note if you've had a good night of rest or not, based on your sleep cycle and resting heart rate. Then, the personal robot is able to put on a pot of coffee through [home automation](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/switchbot-ces-2025) to help ease you into your day. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.8/10 - Popularity: 7% | Activity: 39% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Home](https://www.trendhunter.com/home) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Personal Robot Technology:** As personal robot technology gets closer to becoming a reality, there are opportunities for disruption in the home automation sector. - **Intelligent Home Assistant:** The development of intelligent home assistants showcases the possibilities for AI-assisted lives and presents opportunities for companies in the smart home and IoT industries. - **Robotic Personalization:** The emergence of personalized technology for individuals like the 'Personal Robot' shows the potential for disruptive innovation in the robotics industry. ### Where This Applies - **Smart Home Automation:** The 'Personal Robot' technology showcases new opportunities for home automation companies to incorporate advanced AI technology that can personalize the home experience. - **Internet of Things (iot):** As the 'Personal Robot' becomes more common, IoT companies can incorporate smart assistant technology into more products, like smart refrigerators and TVs. - **Robotics:** Personalized robotics technology presents new opportunities for companies who produce AI-enhanced robots, from companions for the elderly to autonomous retail assistants. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Assistive Homecare Robots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/zeroth-m1.md) - [AI-Powered Wheeled Robots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lg-2.md) - [Smart Home Robots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ebo-x.md) - [AI-Fueled Smart Home Robots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ai-agent.md) - [Roving Projector-Paired Robots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/2024-samsung-ballie.md) - [Humanoid Household Robots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/1x-neo-beta.md) - [Ceiling-Mounted AI Companions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/penguins-innovate-white-rabbit.md) - [Autonomous Home Robots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/memo-home-robot.md) - [Healthcare Assistant Robots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/healthcare-assistant-robot.md)
