Mayfield Robotics is nearing the end of its development of Kuri, a tiny robot with a wide range of functions. When it’s finally distributed, Kuri will come with acoustic speakers, a WiFi connector, a self-charging system, and home mapping programming.

The robot’s i-shaped figure drew in spectators and received a great deal of media coverage at CES 2017, the convention at which customers could pre-order Kuri for the end of the year and be updated on its latest abilities.

Kuri is getting better and better at locating its charging station and navigating its environment, alongside the upgrades in its sounds and music playing. The robot is becoming more likeable and appearing more friendly to outsiders than its earlier stage counterparts.

Kuri is expected to receive more updates during the summer months, and paying customers are looking forward to finally having their cute little robot companions.
