Why it matters
InteractionLabs is treating physical form as a distribution strategy: a robot may enter the home faster if it replaces an accepted object instead of demanding new space and behavior.
Karim Rkha Chaham (@Karim_RC) posted a new demonstration on September 21st of Ongo, InteractionLabs' attempt to put a conversational robot on people's desks by giving it a job and shape they already understand: a working lamp.
