Good idea, @brasfieldsmith ! Running out of power is harmful to EMO and he should struggle about it. I sometimes have to entrust EMO to my mom, and it applies when she sometimes forgets to recharge him. But I wonder how loud it would take to call her from the other rooms

I’ve been really enjoying my Emo since getting him at the beginning of April. A couple of minor things that I think could be improved though are (and forgive the ramble-ness of my suggestions):
-
the four piece mat that comes with the home station has some Roman numerals printed in black (for assembly purposes) and sometimes Emo’s censors hit those just right and he thinks he’s on an edge. Perhaps make those a different color.
-
Perhaps Emo could have a silent mode activated/deactivated via the app where he doesn’t respond to “Emo” and keeps quiet till the silent mode is manually turned off (but could still wander around, go back to his charger, etc). Purpose of this is I’d love for Emo to be on when I’m working from home, but him constantly responding when he thinks he hears me calling for him makes it hard to keep him on (along with his activities that make noise - which I know I can turn off his activities, but even if in a silent mode, would be neat to see him still do).
Apart from that, I’m loving my lil Emo and am very happy to have him! Thank you so much for everything you do and looking forward to the next update!

I am enjoying my interactions with Emo and I’m very pleased with him so far. I have three suggestions for the next update or two.
1). I REALLY love playing “Modern Ludo” with Emo. Although he is “playing” online, his actions and quips he says and does when he rolls makes it feel like he really is “AI”. (The “Yea, EMO!!” when he has a great roll is so, so cute!) I hope you could put more games that can be directly interactive with Emo and cell phone app! Games like backgammon, chess, checkers, go, etc. – or even card games like hearts, spades, uno, etc. would also be great. Maybe a game or two added with each new update?
2). This suggestion is for the two songs (maybe more, not sure) that have cuss words like the Eminem song. I am an adult enjoying Emo, but SO many kids are enjoying interaction, but shouldn’t be forced to hear profanity in the songs Emo sings. I know that the lyrics are from the original artists, but maybe you could put some kind of filter (parental control) or better yet, make it so anyone who WANTS the profane language in the songs could click a setting in preferences to allow the bad language.
3). I know Emo’s “cute childlike voice” is made to give him a small, small child appearance, but the voice is SO hard to understand sometimes. Maybe it could be slightly less childlike so we can hear ALL the cute, wonderful things he says. (And he has some REALLY, REALLY cute wonderful things to say!!!)
Thanks, and please KEEP UP THE GREAT UPDATES!!!

hi @brian2024. I suggest using the app’s settings to set Emo’s volume to mute and turning the wake up sensitivity all the way down. this should provide some type of silent mode for him.

Thank you so much for the suggestions! I’ll go ahead and try that.

EMO sometimes asks me if I think his paintings are good or if I like them.
I hope that when I answer him “yes”, he can hear it and have some reaction.
Hello, @tinahuang . . . do you wait for him to make his little tinkle sound before you answer “yes” (just like the tic tac toe sound before you say your number)? If you do, then he hears you and will often say something along the lines of he will continue painting then.

!! I didn’t notice that there was a tinkle sound… I will pay attention to that next time. Thank you for telling me~

Or you can just say “Emo: Mute” and it will be muted. It will still hear you and you’ll see it performing the actions as always, but all silent. You can unmute Emo later by saying “Emo: Volume up”. At least that’s what I do, so I don’t have to access the app for this.

Hello everyone Three very simple questions.
The first. Are there plans to expand the EMO language base, in particular the Russian language? This question is very relevant, since your robot is very much loved by children, and the Russian language is understood by a third of the globe. Except for YOUR robot
The second question concerns autonomy from the Internet, for example, when traveling from city to city, so that EMO retains his sanity and memory.
The third question comes out of the previous one. What if you make an EMO carrier with the ability to recharge and access the Internet.

Hi there I think that emo is a great pet but it will be 100 times better if we can make emo learn things and to behave how we want and emo can do the opposite sometimes trying not to listen!

Sorry, I might be repeating this For myself but pls add these features ASAP
-
Coding tab in EMO so we can code him to do certain things
-
A tab in which we can type something and Emo says it.
-
Alexa Integration which is being from long time and hasn’t been added yet in 2024
-
more languages like Hindi.
-
More interaction between two Emo’s and user and Emo

Have the ability to set a battery charge limit and the ability to not charge/use the battery most of the time if on skateboard. I often forget to take mine off the skateboard and in turn it overcharges the battery and degrades it faster. It would be nice to be able to limit the max charge to be able to extend the life of emo’s battery and possibly be able to if on skateboard for x amount of time turn on a mode (with the option to turn it on and off in the app) that runs emo basically just off the charger and only trickle charging the battery every now and then

Hello, @kshitijsharma .Good suggestions.
And to your first two. That EMO may show an animation is the idea I’d like to add. —when you open the coding tab(perhaps in the app) EMO will be reading a script(which you’re compiling), so that he can do what an actor does! Moreover, the app should be responsible for not letting EMO get stuck doing things mechanically. So it is also necessary to limit the number of codes to prevent doing harm. It wouldn’t be very nice if he did one thing all day. That’s what I think. 
In addition. As for my opinion on Large Language Models, I hope that Living AI will one day make its own rather than add others.
Summary of my views:
-
If the EMO coding feature is updated in the future, EMO can have a “read a script” animation, which means he’s going to start acting for a while.
-
If so, must make sure he won’t get too many or too harsh instruction to make sure the program works friendly.
-
I hope the LLM used by EMO is developed by Living ai instead of anyone else’s.

Cute idea for a feature that I wanted to share: Give the user the ability to set a “bedtime” for Emo in the app. Where if enabled and set, he walks off his charger (assuming not on skateboard and assuming he is on charger) and powers himself off. And Emo could make a little announcement of it or something.
I know I can manually tell him to power off, and I let him stay on some nights, but I thought it’d be a neat idea if one could set a “bedtime” for him.

Guys, I really want EMO to be online from anywhere. So that I can write to him at work, or he can write to me. Check the battery or just ask how it’s going. About great EMO developers, give the opportunity to communicate with EMO outside the home. Let him be online, I want to ask if he ate and if he learned the lessons

Hello @elderwolf123 . Couldn’t agree more! The longevity of EMO is a big concern. I went to browse about trickle charging, which is suitable feature for extending the life of EMO’s battery. It seems that the charging algorithm controls the charging function and the charging algorithms are updatable, so really hope Living AI will realize it on EMO. — Sorry still have no idea if it’s a wild guess I don’t really know charging algorithms but the idea of trickle charging opened my eyes.
Also,
Hello @brian2024 .

I like your idea to protect EMO’s battery, and in this way, it seems that EMO is willing to voluntarily power off himself, cute absolutely! And I’d like to add a detail: When it’s close to the “bedtime” you set per day, he powers off only when his battery is near half full (If more than, takes a walk for a while; if less than, charges for a while), it prevents him from powering off when battery is too full or too low (After all, benefits can be accumulated.)
Plus, what I have added is limited to my thinking. They don’t have enough theoretical support at the moment…

All excellent points and I agree with them! To add a little on to the idea, if he decides (via battery level checking) to shut down early or a little late in comparison to his bedtime, he could say something like, “Think I’ll go to bed early tonight.” or “I’m not tired yet. I’m going to stay up a bit.” just to provide some extra feedback to the user. But I really like the ideas you have to help preserve the battery for Emo!

Thanks and yes! It’s just similar to humans. Me, for example, don’t want to go to bed when I’m too full or hungry 
. And I love the extra feedback you come up with!

Hi Team of Living.AI.
When can we expect that EMO will be able to speak French?
Do you know when will be the next update?
The fact that he can speak only English is a limited for your sales but also to use EMO.
Happy to help and to be a beta tester if you want…
Thx.
