Yukai Engineering, which plans, develops, and develops communication robots with the idea of ”making the world Yukai with robotics,” is a child-rearing support service that utilizes the home-use communication robot “BOCCO” in collaboration with Tokyo Gas. Leave it to me! BOCCO] has been provided since June 13.
Communication robot “BOCCO”
What is “BOCCO”?
It is a watching robot that works with the smartphone app to help you communicate with your family by exchanging messages with your family and children through BOCCO, as well as the inside of your house while you are out.
“Leave it to me! BOCCO”
“Random! BOCCO” lent out the main body of the communication robot “BOCCO” and its accompanying sensors to 100 households in a collaboration demonstration experiment conducted by Yukai Engineering and Tokyo Gas in 2018.
In child-rearing families with children around elementary school, many cases of use as answering robots and communication robots were reported, and it was planned as a child-rearing support service.
Service overview
In addition to its role as an answering robot and communication robot, “BOCCO” supports child-rearing.
