The Segway Loomo Robot is a cute little machine that can also serve as your personal transporter. It comes with voice & gesture control, auto follow & video capture, advanced computer vision system, and ability to travel on various terrains. It can travel up to 22 miles per charge. With its Android SDK, developers can come up with custom solutions for it.
This video from Segway Robotics shows how this robot can be used for home automation. Frank Engelman has pulled it off by modifying Loomo’s code in Developer Mode:
Adding the Android app Reverb that connects to Alexa Voice Services (AVS) to his Loomo, Frank used Alexa Home Automation setup to enable Loomo to control lights and TV through Amazon Fire TV Cube.
