The 'Smart Pad' concept has been designed by Kia Xia as a comically expressive take on the smart home display that would provide inhabitants with a friendly experience each day. The artificial intelligence (AI)-powered solution is imagined with a four-inch display that would show a series of comic-inspired expressions throughout the day according to the task at hand. This works well with the toy-like body construction that's round and sculpted to give it an approachable profile on a countertop or nightstand.
