Techstination, your destination for gadgets and gear. I’m Fred Fishkin. A robotic AI parrot designed to assist older adults. Onorato AI is a company based in Spain…and founder Pablo Marinosa says it stems from the caregiving he gave to his father. He wanted a parrot…even though caring for it wasn’t possible..

“So well, I’m going to create a parrot. I’ll put a camera in one eye to be able to see through a mobile app. Another, a thermometer to be able to check his temperature to see if he has a fever, for the parrot to remind him of meals, drinks. Well I started developing the project. The next day, I went to a NASA laboratory in Barcelona, where experts in robotics, artificial intelligence and nano technology gathered, and I explained the project to them.”

Onorato AI surpassed its goal on Kickstarter. Learn more at OnoratoAI.com.
