Overview

An ambitious crowdfunded home robot that rolled on a single ball, projected video onto walls and promised smart-home control, security patrol and elder care. Years after the campaign, there is no evidence of broad backer delivery and the company site still offers pre-orders. A cautionary tale of the 2015 home-robot crowdfunding wave.
