Technology & Expertise

Chatbot - The robot will provide prepared answers to a predefined range of questions posed by customers.

Cognitive computing - Face & voice recognitions are possible in many applications (greeting in retail...). 

Data analytics - All data generated in games, tests or exams are stored in the robot as a csv file - Users can download all the data that has been collected - Every behavior that runs in the system is recorded, enabling executives to follow the usage of the robot and propose improvements or adjustments.

IT system integration - For some clients, Zorabots develops solution to establish connections to several external databases/api (pharmacy, airport, hotel,...). 

Navigation - As Nao can just walk, no navigation function has been developed. For Pepper, Zorabots makes it walk within a limited radius around its charging station.

QR code/Barcode scanning - Nao and Pepper can recognize QRCode from their front face camera - All applications can be opened directly - You can start compositions this way - QR Codes facilitate gamification: can be used for quizzes and other games. 

Robot animation editor - Zorabots developped a "composer" for that. Users can combine all pre-programmed movements/gestures/animations to compose a dance or a sequence of movements. Settings of behaviours and gestures can be adjusted seamlessly.
