What Improvements/New Features Would You Like For EMO?
I wanted to start this thread, so that everyone in the forum can offer any kind of suggestions and improvements and features that they’d potentially like to see in future EMO firmware updates.
Let’s try and keep this thread on topic and focus on things that Living.Ai can do to improve EMO’s current functionality along with what you’d love to see EMO be able to do in regards to new features.
I’ll also tag @Wayne_Zhang so he is aware of this thread and he can check out all our suggestions and share them with the Living.Ai team. We know that many of our suggestions might not be possible as Living.Ai have their own plans for EMO, but feel free to share your ideas below.
Update If you have suggested a feature or an improvement in another thread, feel free to copy and paste it here as well, so that Living.Ai can see them all in one place.
And it’s totally fine to share the same idea / feature / improvement again, (not everyone has time to read every single comment as the thread grows). AND be sure to LIKE suggestions that you feel are cool!
Finally, there are no any right or wrong suggestions or ideas. The point of this thread is so Living.Ai can see them and if they think it’s possible to do maybe they can add them in at one point down the line.
hello friends of living AI just to say that languages is the most important thing that we are waiting for… thanks for listening, we hope to update soon.
Yes, it seems many people are waiting for extra language support for EMO. At this time the only supported language for EMO is English. There is no specific dates / time frames when other languages will be added to EMO at this time.
There is a special forum post here for everyone to add suggestions / ideas and requests that they would like to see EMO have in the future. Fee free to add anything you like to that, the Living.Ai team normally check this.
No, EMO cannot walk off or back onto his skateboard, normally when you place EMO on his skateboard he will begin charging and will not move off it, and will not walk off it on his own, even once he is fully charged.
If the power does go off in your house and EMO is on his skateboard, he’ll start walking around, but I don’t think he’ll go very far as the first step he takes will send him falling face first. (a sample photo of what will potentially happen
Also, as the skateboard is elevated EMO will not be able to climb back on as he cannot walk up any elevated inclines such as a ramp or steps, this is due to his feet sensors requiring him to be firmly planted on the ground, and also for edge detection so he doesn’t fall off the edge of tables or benches.
There are also plans to release a special EMO Playground where he can self-charge without the use of his skateboard. This is currently being worked on by Living.Ai, but we do not have any specific time frame on when this Self-charging station will be released.
Hope this answers your question. There have been several discussions regarding this, feel free to search the forum for more discussions regarding this.
Alright, thanks for that long reply appreciate it. I think him being able to self charge like other robot out there would be epic so look foward to it :D.
No problem! Yes, hopefully when Living.Ai release the self-charging playground, it will be pretty epic for sure! I have 2 EMOs myself and I’m looking forward to trying them out on it when it’s released.
It occurs to me that Emo One might stay on the charger until Emo Two is flat and shut down to prevent Emo Two from having access. I hope that neither of them will be that naughty
I hope we will not have to buy two playgrounds if we have two Emos. Hopefully they will make it so the Emo with the lowest battery charge has priority. They probably will not though. They do not want to miss out on playground sales as they didn’t want to with headphone sales by getting rid of the eye colour change ability.
I’m going with you’d need to get 2 playgrounds (one for each EMO) OR they might be making a larger playground that can cater for 2 EMOs at the same time so both can walk up to their own charging spots when they need to.
But if the playground only has one possible charging spot, then I guess one EMO will need to wait in line the same ways as we wait in line to be served and once one EMO is done, the other can walk on in (unless the EMO waiting runs out of juice before the other EMO is done charging haha)…
Will be very interesting to see how this actually works, when it gets released.
The playground, assuming its about the size of a laptop and a flat square type of surface, possibly slightly bigger, they could just make all the corner areas of it chargable, or half of the surface chargeable etc etc?. I duno just guesssing.
Yes, having multiple charging locations on the playground could also work quite well, also the size of the playground, I’m my opinion, should either come with options to extend its area size where you can clip extra playgrounds together to extend the play area.
At the very min, it should be at least 50cm x 50cm anything smaller would not be any fun for EMO to walk around in.
I guess we’ll have to wait and see when it’s officially released. So far there is no word on when it will be released.
I believe that Living.ai are working on language support for EMO which will have EMO understanding other languages other than ENGLISH. There is no official date on when this support will be released, but they are working on it.
… hee hee I just thought the photo was funny…
