OlloBot Debuts Companion Robot ‘OlloNi SS’ in Europe
aiinsider ·
Hong Kong-based OlloBot debuted its OlloNi SS1 companion robot at IFA Berlin, describing it as designed for ongoing personalized interaction rather than task-based assistance. The robot uses the company's EmpathCore emotional-intelligence engine, Affinilog interaction system, and Memory Heart Module to interpret interactions, adapt to users, and retain information over time. Founder Lyn Fang emphasized the importance of the relationships robots can build. OlloBot categorizes the device as part of an emerging "Cyber Pet" segment that combines AI software with an embodied device. The company also postponed a Kickstarter campaign originally planned for late August, citing product-readiness concerns and changing regulatory and market conditions, without announcing a new date. OlloNi SS1 will be demonstrated at OlloBot's booth during IFA Berlin through September 8, with further updates planned in the coming months.
