Living with Moxie, the robot companion for kids

If the death of Jibo taught us anything, it's that it doesn't take much for humans to become emotionally attached to their robot companions. But I suppose that's something we learned when Roomba owners started dressing up their vacuums and kids became obsessed with Tamagotchis. Moxie is a bit different. Developed by Embodied, a company co-founded by former iRobot CTO Paolo Pirjanian, Moxie is a companion robot made specifically for kids to play with every day. During a 15 to 25 minute session, your child can chat with Moxie, play some games, or read alongside it. It can learn to recognize a child's face and their particular learning needs.
