Virtual assistants are another of the biggest current trends, although the most curious thing is that it is only Amazon and Google that have proposed to take all the win by not having greater competition. Of the two, surely I prefer Google Home, but it is Amazon Echo the one that's opening so that other companies, like Lenovo yesterday, present their alternatives with Alexa as the big voice.
Mattel is another that joins this trend and, apart from being known for its excellent toys, as of today you will be able to know that it has a gadget for the home that costs 300 dollars and that his name is aristotle. A device aimed at the smallest of the house and which is intended to "live" in their room.
Aristotle is trained to recognize the voice of the child and be a female voice May it grow just like your child does. Robb Fujioka, Vice President of Mattel, explains it very well:
Aristotle is designed to be something more specific than today's voice assistants: a nanny, friend, and tutor who intends to help your child with school work such as learning a language. It is artificial intelligence that will help your children's education.
Apart from answering questions and reading stories to the little ones in the house, Aristotle can also function as a monitor of babies. Parents can program it to play music or emit different colored lights when it hears that your child is crying. It is equipped with a camera connected to the Internet, through which you can see what the baby is doing.
Inside Aristotle is Alexa, so it also becomes a smart assistant for parents. In fact, it can record and count diapers and even suggest that you buy more.
A device that will not be available until June and that proposes another alternative to the smart assistant at home.
