Intelligent personal assistants are nowadays neither very intelligent nor very personal. Despite that, they are still part of our daily lives and are used for simple tasks such as setting alarms or reading the news. With cultural and technological shifts, new use cases emerge that allow more natural conversations between humans and machines.
For this project a personal robot was developed which is able to move and express itself. It has one eye, four ears and can move its head. It listens out for its name "Sunny" and is powered by some of the most advanced AI systems available today. Sunny was trained on helping you in your creative process by discussing conceptual ideas.
In order to have natural conversations with a machine, it is helpful if the interaction is not explicitly based on language. For example, in human conversation the interaction is enriched by gestures and facial expressions, which is an integral part of transmitting the intention appropriately.
Sunnys goal is to inspire. It listens to your ideas and asks questions about them or even comes up with its own ideas.Of course the answers are not always as accurate as from other humans, but they can more often than not help you to expand your horizons.
