We all are excited for when we can purchase an R2 unit, a Wall-e, or a Johnny 5 from Short Circuit. Jibo isn’t any of those robots, but it is the first step in that direction. At the price of $499 and up, it isn’t yet in my family’s budget, but I am excited to see we are one step closer to everyone having a robot.
