Asus has announced it will launch its Zenbo home robot in Taiwan on 1 January. Other additions made to the Zenbo's voice-controlled feature list mainly surround local services, including food delivery, taxi or van booking, online shopping, banking, medicine prescription, music streaming, house cleaning, gaming and more, but we'll have to wait and see how far voice commands will take us for these. The tech firm has collaborated with Taiwan’s National Police Agency to allow video calls to the emergency services through the robot. Child companionship is one of the selling points of Zenbo. According to a press release, “Zenbo” can be used for child care and babysitting as well as security purposes. Zenbo can also act as security, roaming around a property for surveillance purposes. The robot will be available at a cost of TWD 19,900 ($618).
