The [intelligent social robot](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/memo-home-robot) is equipped with four integrated microphones that can differentiate noises from voices and detect where the voices came form. This means, that parents or a care taker can be notified if Sipro hears a child's cry. The robot also features an [integrated air purifier](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/namuhx-a1) and can return itself to a charging station when its batteries are low. Sipro was designed with numerous entertainment functions to ensure that a child feels comfortable around it. One of these functions is an [integrated projector](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/penguins-innovate-white-rabbit) which enables a child to watch movies, TV shows and even play games.
