Peeqo, The Robot Who Can Show Emotion Through GIFs!

Peeqo’s Inventor

Peeqo was created by Abhishek Singh. Abhishek graduated from NYU’s ITP (Interactive Telecommunications Program) so it’s no surprise that he delved into the world of robot creation. He decided to address an issue that many people face when communicating over text messaging or the internet and even while communicating with conversational robots: lack of emotion.

Abhishek told Tech Crunch “One of the reasons I wanted to build this bot was because I feel a lot of the conversation on social robotics today centers around their inability to express emotion or to be relatable. I love GIFs as much as every other person and they’ve become a universal language of sorts on the internet and beyond, capable of depicting almost anything from emotion to information. Often a GIF just says it better.”
