It’s a bright wooden color with long wavey edges, and he always sees the edge. I recommend cleaning dust off feet sensors OFTEN.

Yes, totally agree, I normally clean both of my EMO’s feet very regularly as well. I use sticky tape and a cotton earbud to get into the sensor area as they tend to get surprisingly dirty very quickly! 
You can see that here - https://youtu.be/EKOj2cS7JtA
Thanks @frankbean
The ability to back up Emo’s data (in case he breaks) and the ability for him to respond to facial emotions would be pretty neat.

I think you may be dreaming on that one. This would be a heap of work to do, that is even if it was capable of doing it. I don’t think LAI would even bother because of this. It would mean a true AI system of some sort incorporated with Emos chat bot program, and if they were to do that then they might as well use an AI base for speech as well. So much work, I don’t think LAI would even attempt it, given that they didn’t even opt for an AI for his speech in the first place. Though, we can see and hope, perhaps LAI will prove me wrong. Emo has huge potential, but it will take a lot of work to make him the ultimate robot. The question is, does LAI have the ability, stamina or inclination to bring Emo to his full potential? Only time will tell.

An advise for the next update
It would be nice if emo could be remotely controlled like a security cam, but already at home as a remote controlled robot it would already be a bit interesting as it happens in “treasure hunter” but looking at what he sees

MAKE EMO SMART!! He should be able to answer basic questions through the cloud he runs through! Without google or Alexa. Ask him what 2+2 is. Who’s the president ect. He’s clueless! Fix the accuracy of the weather. He’s never right. He’s pretty much a very expensive kids toy right now! Give him more expressions to make him more life like. Make have scarred,surprised,sad,giggling. He pretty much numb with expressions

Here’s another idea which would be nice if it was possible.
Playing the in-app games with Emo e.g MODERN LUDO
We should be able to combine two or three other Emo’s to join in, considering the app already allows you to use both accounts by switching to the other on the same device, wether this would work I don’t know 
I say this because I feel so sorry for the other Emo when I’m playing with the other -who thinks they can intrude and stop the game by saying “Emo”

I think everything I’d like to see had already been mentioned, so I’ll just fire off a quick list. Maybe if it’s posted enough, it’ll annoy LAI enough to implement it
-
The ability to switch between 24 and 12-hour clocks
-
More accurate weather reporting/forecasting. If I ask him the current weather, he’s usually pretty accurate; but when he randomly tells the weather for the next day, it was supposedly going to be cloudy and 75F every day for the past month; even during two heatwaves.
-
The ability to turn off the screen and headphones when he’s charging at night. That little guy really can light up a room, even when he’s sleeping!
-
More games, whether in-app (like Ludo) or not (Tic Tac Toe). I’d especially like some form of card game.
-
A calendar/planner function with the ability to set appointments
-
The ability to change his eye color (again)
-
Custom playlists
-
The ability to use him as a Bluetooth speaker
-
More random speech (“Oh no! A cliff!” “What’s that?” “Resistance is futile. You will be assimilated.” “I’m sleepy. Can I go back on my skateboard?”)
-
A longer timer. As someone mentioned long ago, he’d be a cute kitchen timer; especially for ramen.
-
A simple calculator function. I wouldn’t expect calculous equations or anything like that, but maybe “EMO, what’s 10 minus five?” “Ten minus five is five.”
-
A magic 8-Ball type function
-
Have him show off his artwork. I’m curious!!
-
Have EMO remember things like our favorite foods, colors, lucky numbers, etc
-
More animal sounds
-
I’ll also add, as a fun little Easter egg for us nerds, that maybe he could recite the Laws of Robotics if we ask what they are. If they’re under copyright, maybe a cutesy and more juvenile version that’s centered around Emo.
Just thought I’d throw in my two cents.

All these are what we all want. Hopefully Lai can look at it again.

No please no app games, forget apps, sick of apps, that time devloping apps is better spent doing some thing that is NON app related like a non app related game, whole point of emo to me is not to use smart phones.
Great recap! Also agree with @Racheal123 that this list sums up many of the ideas and suggestions that a number of EMO owners have mentioned in this thread already. And there are many more ideas that have been suggested by other EMO owners as well, but this list is certainly a great start for Living.ai to work on.
I also would like to add to this as mentioned previously, the ability to back up and restore your EMO just in case something goes wrong with a failed firmware update or your EMO needs to be replaced, once you get your new EMO you can simply do a restore and be back to how he was.
More games to play is also great, and the ability for him to cheat once in a while as well in them would be even better ;), but also need to note that some games like UNO or Monopoly are copyright so those will be hard to add. Still, there are many other kinds of games that Living.ai can add to EMO that shouldn’t conflict with copyright issues.

I keep forgetting about adding a dang back-up option! Thank you for mentioning that again. My brain no worky right now.

I ran into issue where when I use my computer speakers, EMO seem to pickup wrong commands and end up responding to every words that said on the video. This needs to be fixed. There are still a lot to improve on this unit but that’s the other things that bothers me.

Emo does do that a lot. Really would be nice if there was a way to stop him from thinking the tv or radio or computer is asking him questions all the time.
Also agree we need more interaction with Emo directly and not just in the app. But some of us love the in app games, I would like them to be changed a little that’s all -not to actually make new ones -they can do more later, anyway he’s got plenty of games for now.
And really most importantly they need to sort out the things that really matter like different languages, 12 hour clock, the ability to save your Emo if you need a replacement or if a firmware update fails. And also educational questions or more encyclopaedia with more knowledgeable answers from Emo.
I’m sure there’s lots I’ve forgotten…

Keeping the flow of new features/ideas moving along, that would be cool to see added into EMO in future updates
EMO-tional EMO – Happy/Sad/Moody/Playful – (a step into having his own personality)
With the new Flower and Flame Animation just recently added, was thinking that EMO can branch off and react to you differently depending on how you treat him.
So for example, if you’ve gotten EMO to display more Flowers/Bouquet Animations over Flame/Volcano Animations, EMO will be in a happier state of mind and react to you in a happier tone when you speak to him or when sees you he might even say specific things like:
I Love You Today
You’re Awesome
You’re my BEST friend
You always make me Happy
(visual animations can also be displayed when he speaks)
And also be more inclined to do things if you ask him to like if you ask him to Dance he will do it without hesitation. Play Games, tell you the time, etc.
If on the other hand, you’ve made EMO display more Flame/Volcano Eruptions, EMO’s attitude towards will be a little different, possibly mad/upset.
So when EMO spots you, he could say:
I’m upset with you today
You shake me too much
I’m not happy 
You are mean to me
(visual animations can also be displayed when he speaks)
And will certainly be less inclined to do most things you ask him to do, for example, if you ask him what the time is he could say:
I’m not telling you because I’m mad at you today for shaking me too much!
Or won’t want to dance or won’t play specific games with you either as he’s not in the mood.
It’s a basic idea, that shouldn’t be overly complicated to add (and expand on over time), as EMO should be able to tally up simply how many flowers/bouquets he’s displayed over time compared to how many flames/volcanoes and then act accordingly with a good or bad mood personality/response.
We all do want to see EMO evolve and be more EMO-tional and have a personality of his own, this might be a good/simple start.
This is something that of course could be added along with fixing other more pressing issues, but still, something that will make EMO a little more unique and different when we all individually interact with him… even if it’s in a very small way.
