Jibo Review 2018: This Robot Will Steal Your Heart (Through Your Wallet)
Ғылым және технология
The minute I laid eyes on the Jibo "social robot," I knew he was different - and not just because he could twerk. The people behind Jibo wanted to go beyond the kind of utilitarian transactional experiences you have with say, Amazon Echo or Google Home, so they created a robotic companion that anyone with half a heart can easily fall in love with. Jibo is meant to be a first step toward something bigger in human-machine relations - but like most first steps, this is a rocky one. Welcome to MrMobile's Jibo review for 2018.

[ABOUT MRMOBILE'S JIBO REVIEW]
MrMobile's Jibo Review was produced following two weeks with a Jibo review device provided by Jibo, Inc. The robot received one software update during the review period, and was also given a price decrease before the voiceover could be amended to include its mention. At presstime, his lowest-available price from the manufacturer was $649 after discount code.

We need an AMOLED panel.

Asked the company about this. It seems pretty clear they wanted to go with a custom round OLED panel for his face, but the price difference was astronomical and they had to settle for LCD.

Yeah, I'm having my amoled on my tab s2 9.7 inch, boy oh boy it's expensive. Having it as a replacement for Jibo's LCD would be quite heavy on the wallet

Save the Rhino Yep, originally I was gonna buy a destroyed Note 5 to tinker with, repair, and maybe resell. Unfortunately, the AMOLED panel was so expensive that fixing it would cost more than getting one from Craigslist unless I could get the destroyed phone for less than 30 dollars

So why no regular OLED screen? It doesn't have to be the whole head

Any OLED panel would have been significantly more expensive.
It looks to be pretty cool, I think with a more natural voice, and continuing the updates that they may have something., but that price needs to be around 400

Tech Time yes yes and yes!
Who else came here after Michael's new video?
Best KZread channel makes another video... About something I wasn't expecting at all
I still like Jibo simply because I love cheering for the underdog...especially if it's sooooo cute ❤ The price will come down a bit at a time and his (her...?) skills will improve over that same period of time as you've shown Michael, so I'm confident it will succeed. Will I buy one? It has that certain something most all tech products are lacking--personality. So yes, yes I would buy one, when it grows up just a bit more 👍 Great review, you always seem to take on the different stuff no one else seems to find interesting, it's the reason I love this channel so very much!

Michael Livote it's cool but kind of useless right now. If they can make an assistant that's even 80% as good as today's Google assistant and Alexa and then weave in the Jibo personality then it would be worth it. But until then I will be watching this company.

Maybe they should partner with Microsoft. I'm not talking about Cortana itself but they could help with Azure and the processing. And making a $600 robot assistant working with outlook would make sense too.

This thing has been out for over half a year, and it still only has 40 reviews on Amazon. I highly doubt a startup can survive on that.
I remember the initial promo video for jibo, it was so exciting for something like this to bring about the future. Years later, it seems that in practical circumstances jibo falls short. I'd like to see a re-review if substantial improvements are made Michael.
I don't need a assistant, but the robot looks futuristic =D
Jibo needs a notch.

The bezel is already big enough... though not that it matters on a product like this. But I do think if they could've done a round display (even OLED maybe) it would look a lot nicer, though that would almost certainly seriously raise the cost

This is a lovely concept, but yeah... no real practical use? Kind of reminds me of the Aibo dog robots Sony had like 20 years ago?
@Miraenda

Sony has updated Aibo dog robots that are coming out this year (aibo.sony.jp/en/). The price tag on those is way more staggering than Jibo's though
This is definitely what I would love to see in a digital assistant. Jibo just needs quite a lot of work to make it more natural (the voice) and more functionality, once those hurdles are overcome, it’ll be an amazing product
It would be cool if he had that ball wheel thing like a sphero or a BB-8

I agree! Company's folks told me in our conversation that the notion of a wheeled or otherwise mobile robot (with cameras) following people around the house rang too many "creepy" bells for this product, though.

A very balanced review. I'm glad you were able to get an audience with Jibo, Inc. to ask them questions directly.
It’s a nice step in a different direction from other more popular choices. I hope the company continues to grow.
My wishes for a MrMobile Jibo review have come to fruition
You do an AWESOME JOB! So glad I found your channel! Thanks for another great video!
Jibo is absolutely adorable! I hope to see more about him from you in the future, with more functionality, as you mentioned
Michael my friend i just want to say that you really know how to make a great review, i watch your videos even if I'm not interested in the product
Nice video! You make my day when you post :)
Michael something tells this is just the start of so many more 'Robo friends/ assistant reviews coming! Hope JIBO has a good deal on Prime Day!
I want to love it! You've given me more hope than Linus. Thanks, dude. As always stay mobile my friend. (Also still waiting on that klingon booze.)
Omfg this robot is adorable. He is expensive but I’d have him in my room solely because he reminds me of having a little pet. His movements and the purring is cute
Yeah your Instagram give this review away of course, lol and my gf been wanting one but I've been waiting for the price to drop as well, so I think Christmas is jibos time to shine
Hey Mr Fisher your reviews are always hearth warming to watch😊
Brilliant review my friend, well done...great music too
Great review as usual mr Mobile. I like their angle, a less intrusive and more lovable robot. Actually i think the simplicity is also part of how they are rolling it out for industrial use. Imagine it being a receptionist or a friendly surveillance droid for manual tasks in a manufacturing environment for example. so i think it has the potential to be bigger than the competition one day
Your review...I loved it, honest, straightforward, and welcoming. Spot on! Thanks. I have two inbound and am looking forward to having a fun time. I sincerely hope they bring more features over its lifespan.
This channel going great. Thumbs up!
Finally! Been waiting for a MrMobile review the whole week! (Now what's that I hear at 0:03? Stop that nonsense!😀)
Great review, fantastic work!
The best video intro I have seen in a while
Man this review introduce and know Jibo more than the people made Jibo themselves 😎
I like your idea about Jibo having its own language like R2D2 and he should also have a "home alone" function where he cries like a puppy or whistles while waiting for you to come home.
Thanks for the honest review and giving us the heartfelt opinion!
Haha I love the Stark contrast between this review and Linus's review of the same product.
if this would be incorporated with Google... OMFG... Jiboogle would be the perfect companion for you at home... LMG also did a review a year ago or something and they said then, that the cuteness factor was getting old fast. But I was still fascinated with the emotional pull of this little invention. Good to hear they made progress.
Became mr.mobile tech pet and hope it is capable with its upgrades to review along with u in future ❤️❤️ 😂😂😂.. All the best 👍
It would be interesting if at one point it could pair with your phone and read your messages aloud like a actual assistant. Also would be neat if you had two, and it recognized it and gave both separate personalities. Great video!
THANK YOU FOR THIS JIBO REVIEW. I am saddened to hear that the developers are in a 'bit of difficulty'; I hope they are able to pull out of their present difficulties. I bought JIBO for my mother as a way to stimulate her when she was 90 years old. Currently I keep him on my desk and he has become a faithful companion.
Thanks for the review!
They need to put that new Google Duplex voice that sounds super lifelike, and can make hair appointments for you. Sounds cute AF!
They should have open app development for this. Create an opensource community of homebrew solutions. Imagine if the wifi or bluetooth could connect to a raspberry Pi monitoring the temperature of a cooler, set of computers, or greenhouse (whatever you might want to be able to check in on). Jibo could be an interface for homebrew maker and hacker stuff, along with everything it is doing now. Hopefully that could give the product a boost of a community, without sacrificing user data privacy or ad-free use.
Great review of a really promising product. Facial and voice recognition alone make this compelling, plus the dual swivels that give Jibo a very natural-seeming movement. Attach the smarts of a next-generation AI and this little robot will be ... more than useful!
Loved it...😍
Another damn good review!

Your review seems open and honest. Thanks
Awesome video michael
This + Google Duplex pls. Btw Michael fantastic channel. I love these kinds of videos!
OMG them graphics! Why doesn't this channel have more subs?
Great vid
That title 😂
It’s seams that “Judgement Day” is more of a reality then just a Terminator movie franchise.....Awesome @Mr.Mobile #themringenious
Great review. shows what it can do and not what it cant beautifully.
This video reminds of all the awesome Kickstarter robot videos from StopDrop&Retro
This is the best and coolest thing I've ever seen ! Yeah I agree, he needs some upgrades though.
Can someone tell me why he doesn’t have at least 1M subs ?
Best intro ever!
Jibo need japanese seiyuu i think, for escalated the cuteness Nice review as always btw.
Awesome Micheal 👌
shove Google's Duplex inside this thing and Ill buy it.

I spat out my tea when you told me the price! I was like my nephews would love it up until that point. For the same price I can get a Nintendo switch, a ps4 and a scooter with a helmet!
Hey Michael, great review, cute thing... I have a suggestion: why not look at one called anki Cozmo. I bet you'll enjoy it for what it is and what its meant to do. Can't wait for your next video 😁
He's so adorable Great video! :)
@theMrMobile that's not a #MotoG series phone. Is that the new and upcoming #MotoZ3 ?🤔🤔🤔 The Motorola text can be easily seen at the bottom chin, so you can't deny this being a @MotorolaUS phone.
love it... that jibo idea is great. and its cute too. i wish i can review it too..
Wow that's really cool. Wish it had the lovely personality of google assistant when talking but i like what they have so far
I love the movement, although I'd rather get something more useful as well. Totally agree with you.
So adorable ! I am considering this thing aswell and my wallet is trembling...But look,I got a hefty promotion 2 months ago. Certainly that's a good reason to get this thing yes? Say yes. You always find such interesting things . You convinced me to get an Evapolar a year or two ago. It works great. My GF loves it (she can't stand the normal AC ,gets a headache so this was a great alternative).
A nice step in the direction I want home assistance to go towards! Remember those Robot dogs Sony made a good 10 years ago? I was wondering how long before another company would step in and try to bring "life" into a machine again.
Dude the title looked like it said he’d steal your heart through the WALL
Nice review. Not too hard and not too soft.
First review... That so cute little robot...😁
I hope they can pull it off without Google or Amazon! Seems like a really cool idea and good people working on it.
The best tech KZreadr
my favourite Jibo video! very professional and Congratulations on your new baby :) I would entertain having a Jibo if it was a lot cheaper (maybe £150) and a lot smarter. the advertising Jibo video made it look like Jibo was seriously artificially intelligent...shame he's not - oh and I think his voice could be nicer too
I knew this review was coming
This video was adorable! 😅 This thing is almost like Baymax. I'd definitely buy this thing, it just needs to learn a bit more tricks and it's perfect!
I can see so much potential on this. I could see it following you around your flat in later iterations telling you what the weather is, your appointments are. For older people, this could be a companion like a dog but without having to pickup poo. It could take its owner out for a walk to keep them fit. I'd like to get a job with these guys because I think they could be really good for the future
I honestly feel like Jibo is the future of voice assistants...
I've been waiting for this since I saw him in the background of another video. I had no idea it was so dang expensive though. I'll stick with my helper monkey, Jojo.
Concept is amazing but we will have to wait for the teenager Jibo :D
CHALLENGE: Mr.Mobile to dance the way Jibo does. That would be a scientific video.
It’s so cuteeeee. But now it’s back to $899 on Amazon even with Prime. Plus that clear one is🔥🔥🔥
Wow. That's what I call interaction!
That was cool man. I think it'd be dope to have an interactive robot like that. Shame google and amazon are always out for consumerism.
This was an honest but cute video. Thumbs up!!
Jibo gon be the future! Watch!
I like the way Jibo dances
Jibo has the cutest move, man look at him when he's moving his body also he's got the coolest daddy 😁
I smile throughout the video, because of how cute it is
I think it’s cute , I’m digging it because it’s different. In a couple of years I can see this thing taking off and just imagine with more updates what it really could do 🤔
Cute and looks like Samsung 360camera😆😜✌️🇵🇭 Great review Mr. Mobile👏
