Echo Frequent Q/A:
What is Echo? We are an AI research company based in the cold chilly mountains of Alaska! We strive to create the latest technology when it comes to robotics and artificial intelligence. Our latest project is attempting what many have said impossible, we have created 8 robots, each with their own personality and tasks, and have created an ecosystem of sorts to see if the robots can live on their own!
Are they sentient? While we would love to say they are, they have no sentience whatsoever! While they do simulate many things, like emotions, pain, and other human things, they are just that, simulations.
What are keywords? Keywords are mainly for developer and robot use, while we have given them the ability to form actual complete human sentences, we have found that if they use it 24/7, it uses a lot of power, so we have created a set of keywords for each robot to use and only use during normal interaction without humans. A robot has it's own set of keywords that only it can use, and there is also a shared set of keywords (locations, names of other robots, status, etc) that all robots share with. There are a few exceptions, but when humans are not around, or in an event of an emergency, they are only allowed to use the keywords to form short sentences.
Are there two of each robot? Nope, there is only one of each. What you are seeing are the two bodies each robot owns. The big one is its main body and is usually used to complete its main tasks and greet any guests. The small ones are used for tasks that require the robot to be in a different place or to communicate with other robots. A robot cannot be in both bodies at once, and to switch the bodies must be physically connected.
Are you open for tours? Not quite yet ;) we hope to soon show our work to the public and even begin releasing them to the public! But we must continue to test to make sure there are no bugs or issues!
