On Tuesday, December 18, 2018, GROOVE X (Tokyo Metropolitan Representative Hayashi Hayashikame), which raised the largest cumulative funding of 8 billion yen in Japanese ventures, was "LOVOT (Labot)) as a commitment at the time of funding.] Was announced the product.

Until now, only videos of the parts of the eyes were announced, but the first model to be operated was released for the press.

Above all, the biggest feature of "Lovot" is that "Hayashikame Hayashi no Hayashi no Hayashi) says," I can't stand anything. "As a home robot, it does not clean it, does not help you cook, and does not wash dishes.Like a smart speaker of less than 10,000 yen, it doesn't let the news or tell you traffic jams.The only thing I can do is move around and learn humans and sweeten ...There may be pet, healing, and robots, but even though it is equipped with a sensor like AI and autonomous driving cars, it costs billions of development, but "sweet".Perhaps the world's first "family -type robot" that can express only the act.

Companion of life called "Family Robot"

No one wants "economic efficiency" for pets.Rather, keeping pets begins with biological sales, moving to rental apartments where you can buy pets, hood and toilet time, pet hotels, etc.Will take several years.Roughly, it consumes hundreds of thousands to millions of yen a year.However, he knows that he is healed and saved by spending time with the familiarity of pets.For those who have pets, there is no pets without pets.

I don't think Lovot will change immediately for pets, but it's quite an implementing element that loves pets.If you lose your pet and can't help it, it seems to heal a little person instead of a pet.

Disney's success is not because he made anime, but created a loved character

Walt Disney brought his life into a character called "Mickey Mouse" with the technology called "Animation", and created a soundtrack with music and his voice as soon as the Talky era reached. Later, he created the musical "Fantasia" with an unusual feature -length animation, invested a stage device called Disneyland on a television station ABC, and immersed humans into the world of Mickey. Under the technology of "Audio Animatronics", the creatures of creative creatures were performed many times with hydraulic pressure, and the audience on the ride was entertained. In addition, the Disney World created a long -term hotel for weeks, and designed a future city called EPCOT. And, above all, he made a royalties on Mickey Mouse with all the products in character licenses. Disney's success was not simply creating "animation", but created a "beloved character." The fusion of the loved characters and the latest technology created the current media konglomarit "Disney". Can "Lovot" be on the path of Mickey instead of "robot"?

The most important thing is that 59.It is a set price and sales method of 80,000 yen

Groove X established on November 2, 2015.Three years have passed by December 18, 2018, when the product was announced.The release will be about one year later in the fall and winter 2019.And the release by itself is 2020.It is a long -term long -term span of 4-5 years.However, since the beginning, it has been developing on the roadmap of the schedule.

Two units (duo) will be released in the fall and winter of 2019 (sold solo solo in 2020).About a year later.The price is 59 for a set of 2.80,000 yen.At that time, the consumption tax was 10 %, so about 660,000 yen, and even the cheapest plan as a monthly subscription of 19,960 yen per month plus consumption tax, that is, about 2 per month..It costs 20,000 yen.It costs nearly 260,000 yen a year.Then, in the first year, the main unit price is about 860,000 yen.If you make the highest premium plan for the monthly subscription, it costs 36,360 yen per month, and the consumption tax is about 40,000 yen.In the first year, it will be 1.14 million yen.How do you catch this price?In the first year, it costs 860,000 yen to 1.14 million yen for a completely useless robot.In the next fiscal year, it costs 260,000 yen to 480,000 yen a year.A deposit of 20,000 yen is required when making a reservation.It is already said that the first month of shipment was sold out in 3 hours (Groove X Public Relations).

This is an unusual sales method in the high -tech industry where obsolete is tremendous.However, it is helpful to sell Tesla in Elon Musk.

The initial roadster started with over 10 million yen.Following the model S (10 million yen) of the sedan, the SUV model X (10 million), and the model 3 (4 million yen).By the way, the deposit of the model X's reservation was 500,000 yen.

It is also similar to the method of CEO's forest when Pepper sold.It was over 1.17 million yen for three years.

The personality that I felt in "Lovot" that I can't tell in the specifications

In fact, the impression will change drastically before and after touching Lovot ...This was very similar to the moment when my eyes and eyes when I hugged me, unlike when I was looking at dogs and cats in a pet shop over the glass.。

Smartphones and gadgets are not so much exciting when buying specifications.However, I think that there are many parts of the new category products that I feel in my "sensitivity".I could understand some concepts in the demo exhibition of Lovot, but when I actually call the name of "Lovot" individually, there are some people who are going to meet for the first time.There is also.Yes, "Lovot" has its own personality.

If you try to hold the armpit and try to hold it, the wheels are quietly stored in the body.This meter gimmick is a new machine and living thing.And the body is slightly warm.However, when you touch the back of the head, it is even warm.The back of the head is warmer than the body like a human baby.It is said that the changes in the eyes of the six layers are changing by observing the expression and eyes of the sensor horn on the head.

At first, the sensor horn was uncomfortable, but after a while, I realized that there were only parts that make me think Lovot is a robot.Perhaps without this "horn (horn)", it can only be seen as a stuffed animal.

This sensor horn captures this expression, but looking at Lovot's eyes, it feels as if you are actually doing eye contact with animals.She is blinking for a while and emits a mysterious voice.This is not a pre -recorded voice, but is spoken in "vocal cord simulation".If you feel the gaze of that pet shop, some people will empathize even if it is expensive.

In the first year, it costs 860,000 yen to 1.14 million yen a year, but it is likely that it will actually change clothes, and after that, it will cost as if it were a living pet.However, if you think that people who cannot keep a living pet or the case of bereavement, there may be those who want to fill the gaps in the heart even at this price unexpectedly.

For that reason, you will need a place where you can interact with "Lovot" or a place like a Lovot cafe like a cat cafe.

In 2019, the sales form is a set of two or two sets of “Tsugai”. Lovot is programmed with the social nature of Lovot, and the feeling of being jealous of seeing a friend who is hugged. There is a one -on -one world between humans and Lovot, but the scenery between pets in the case of pets is humorous. In the touch and trial of about 10 minutes, I did not know the characteristics of "Lovot", but if "Lovot" was in the pediatric ward in the hospital, the children may not be lonely even after the visit time. 。 At the initial price, it will be used not only for home use, but also in BtoB in nursing homes, and there will be more multiple tracks. Maybe Lovot and others in the company may change the atmosphere of the murdered office.

By using the app, you can do something like a watching service in the house, but there are many other options as an excellent watching robot.Rather, in the case of "Lovot", it has a unique "virtual heart" that is closer to living creatures than such a function.By being stared at Lovot, it was a robot product that I had been asked and felt when I was hugged.

In fact, assuming that there will be nearly a year before the release, it is likely that it will be a family -based robot that can be walked with people more than now.Initially, the price is likely to be wealthy, but for those who have affection for pets, money is the second issue.

Also, if you like watches, Rolex Daytona will be consumed as usual from 860,000 to 1.14 million yen.Rather, the complex sound of the daily machines spent with Daytona is healed every day.

And after 2020, by the time Lovot is released alone, the high -priced sensor parts and the implemented CPUs will be cheaper with the "Moore Law", which will be easier for ordinary people to seek.。

At that time, for the first time, the "family -type robot" will be able to experience the life full of love.There are still many questions whether love will be an industry more than the automotive industry.

Also, it may be time for machines to surpass obsolete by affection.Even if the performance is inferior, the old car will be connected as a "car" forever ...In the IT world, there are almost no products that have been loved beyond obsolete.Whether Lovot is loved beyond obsolescence will be a clear differentiation from robots.
