Hi - I'm Mike, the CEO of Mayfield Robotics. We are a 40-person startup created by Bosch in Redwood City.
We have been working on creating Kuri for the past two years and we are thrilled to introduce her to the world.

@michael_beebe42 thanks for sharing - how are you seeing Kuri connect (or replace) home assistants?

Very cute! Though I think not many people will see the appeal in this robot for 600 dollars. Maybe if it were priced a bit lower (though that might not be possible) it would?

@jesse__muller considering its a walking talking robot, and costs less than an iPhone, I thought that was pretty cheap to be honest!
This is like having your own functional R2D2! Considering a Roomba is roughly on the same price tier, I dont think it is really that expensive at all. Looking forward to see the progress as this has so much potential. The videos are pretty cool, although I found the "wife's parents" one a bit odd :)

What are some use cases? What is the advantage to being a mobile robot vs. a fixed-place microphone like Echo?
