You've probably heard of Siri and Amazon Echo. These probably have inspired A.I. controlled robots that we might start to see.

Attached to the top of the orb via a shiny metal arm is the robot's face, an oval-shaped screen with a built-in display that can show information or, in true robot fashion, eyes and a mouth. It also includes a camera, which can detect faces, take photos and videos, and offer remote home monitoring via an app.
Asus envisions the monitoring capabilities as especially useful for elderly owners; if someone looks like they've fallen or are otherwise in distress, Zenbo can notify an emergency contact.
