Qbo interacts with TheCorpora's team in a fully autonomous way. In these demos, Qbo could measure the distance of detected person by using computer vision algorithms without the help of any proximity sensors.

Qbo Robot learns detects & recognizes
Uploaded on Jul 19, 2011
In this video you can observe two different demos: a first one in which Qbo detects/recognizes/learns persons; and another in which he detects/recognizes/learns objects. The switch from one demo to the other is made through voice commands, as well as the recognition and the learning commands.

Qbo robot. Another application using computer vision
Uploaded on Aug 3, 2011
This video shows how you can use XMMS2 linux audio player software, that can be controlled with hand gestures. Qbo only pays attention to the hands that are nearby, using its stereoscopic vision. Qbo can successfully distinguish, in real-time, among several hand gestures to play/pause, stop, volume up/down, next/previous, songs.

QBO Robot in front of a mirror
Uploaded on Nov 28, 2011
This video corresponds to a small experiment in which we put Qbo in front of the mirror to see if he can learn to recognize himself. For that, we used the "Object Recognition" mode and the "Face Recognition" mode. Qbo, using its stereoscopic vision, selects his image in the mirror and, with the help of one of the engineers, learns how to recognize himself. This quite simple experiment touches interesting psychological aspects of self-consciousness, whose complexity can be proved by the fact I already mentioned of the few species that can recognize themselves in front of the mirror. In this first version, a human guide presents Qbo to himself, but we are working so as the robot could present and self-recognize himself autonomously when found in front of the mirror.

Qbo meets Qbo
Uploaded on Dec 28, 2011
Those who have been following this project for a while know that it started 6 years ago. If something surprised and pleased me in equal measure, it was the controversy brought by our latest video in which Qbo recognizes itself in the mirror. It was not due to the publicity generated around the project, but because, somehow, we've updated this debate that was lost long time ago: can a machine become intelligent or self-conscious? We went from being interested in creating artificial brains to just develop mechatronic systems sophisticated but less intelligent or already programmed.
After our latest video, you had consistently sent us a very interesting series of questions which can be summarized in two: what would happen if a Qbo has another of the same "species" identical to him in front of him?
