Creepy robot that listens to you at home could help stop loneliness

A creepy robot that listens to you at home and shares your every move with your friends has been developed to help young people tackle loneliness. Scientists behind the robot, named Fribo, claim it encourages its owner to text and call their friends to help them socialise. To do this, the robot senses when you open a door or turn on a light and then messages your group to let them know what you're up to. In early trials, users said Fribo did help them to contact friends more but many expressed privacy concerns.
