Japanese startup Groove X, founded by an alumni of SoftBank Group Corp's robotics unit, unveiled its first creation on Tuesday - a companion robot designed to make users happy. The Lovot, an amalgam of 'love' and 'robot', cannot help with the housework but it will 'draw out your ability to love,' Groove X founder and CEO Kaname Hayashi told reporters at the launch in Tokyo. Using artificial intelligence (AI) to interact with its surroundings, the wheeled machine resembles a penguin with cartoonish human eyes, has interchangeable outfits and communicates in squeaks.
