"Ion"

Ion is an interactive, voice recognition-based robot assistant that can help a user complete tasks in a more involved, fun manner. Through voice recognition, Ion can understand certain tasks that the user can give such as playing music or searching google. Through face recognition and a servo, Ion can interact with the user, recognizing and following their face as well as reacting to the conversation. This physical, interactive embodiment of a personal assistant sets it apart from competitors who are essentially only a smart speaker. This concept can be applied to help counter boredom and monotony when sitting at the desk.
