Next-Generation Companion Robot
Next-Generation Companion Robot is an always-on, personalized AI-powered companion designed to engage seniors and other users with conversational, natural responses to help build long-term relationship. Evolving with Agentic AI capabilities, Next-Generation Companion Robot can translate intent into action by orchestrating complex tasks such as drafting messages on supported apps like LINE, initiating video check-ins, or even organizing personal content such as photos or schedules. Plus, when users are away from home, ongoing interactions can continue via a messaging app. Drawing on authorized access to personal data and its interactions with the user, Next-Generation Companion Robot remembers life events, relationships, and cherished moments, growing closer to its user over time.
ASUS Kairo Service Robot
Engineered for autonomous mobility in dynamic, complex environments, ASUS Kairo supports guided navigation, follow-me assistance, and real-time information delivery powered by a modular platform that adapts to any scenario. With emotion-aware AI and multilingual support, ASUS Kairo adjusts its interaction style on the fly — delivering clear guidance and real-time information as it escorts users through any environment. Initially validated for deployment in healthcare settings, ASUS Kairo is well-suited to the operational demands of other complex service environments.
ASUS Maestro
ASUS Maestro is a unified AI orchestration platform that acts as a sort of brain — connecting robots, IoT devices, systems, and workflows to serve as one single command center, standardized API-based integration, and automated workflow execution. It also coordinates multi-device collaboration with real-time visibility and control, enabling Next-Generation Companion Robot, ASUS Kairo, and virtual agent ASUS Sage (an AI presence across digital touchpoints) to collaborate seamlessly across care and service environments.
Through Agent-to-Agent coordination, ASUS Maestro translates a request into action: it receives an instruction, coordinates with Next-Generation Companion Robot or ASUS Kairo, then executes a task and notifies the user upon completion. Designed for scalability, ASUS Maestro supports cross-brand robots and IoT devices across on-premises, cloud, and hybrid deployments — making it the operational backbone for any intelligent service environment.
