Robots useful at home

Examples of robots used at home:

• JIBO
• SIRI
• PEPPER

JIBO is useful because it can do many different things, such as telling stories to kids, taking photos when you pose, easy messaging and video calling.  It can also remind you of any events in the calendar. 

• Its not that big although it is a handy size to carry if necessary  

SIRI is useful because it can also do many things.  These include:

• viewing maps
• make appointments
• call a friend
• read text messages

But siri does have its disadvantages:

• You have to have internet connection unless you have 3g
• Siri sometimes cant understand what you say.  If you have a strong accent then siri might not be able to interpret what you want him to do. 
• Needs to be in a quiet room for siri to understand.

PEPPER is useful because its life size! it can also do anything you ask.

• Life size!Although it might be hard to handle.
• Doesn't need internet.
