Israeli start-up Roboteam has developed a device for the home that uses facial recognition technology to track and follow human owners, according to CEO Yosi Wolf. The company, which also makes robots for military use, initially created Google, which has a tablet interface, to be a video chat and music machine. It uses Temi's artificial intelligence tools but Wolf said the company eventually plans to open the technology up to third parties. The current small beta test will be scaled up to 1,000 participants with a view to launching late next year.
