Associated with the launch of the new Samsung Galaxy Note 9 in Orange stores, our robot KiOne has a new super power: writing.

The big plus of the Galaxy Note 9 is its stylus. What can be done with it is definitively what the robot must highlight.
Lidwine Martinot, our CTO, and the R & D team have developed some magic formulas: a hint of artificial intelligence for calibration, some style and curves and “voilà”, a robot  ready to show the Live Message, the screen sharing and the cropping.

Slovakia, Romania, Belgium, Poland, Luxembourg, Spain and France welcome in Orange stores these unique robots eager to share their Galaxy Note 9 experiences.

We are very proud to have won a prize on a subject that is dear to us. Bringing emotion, fun and pedagogy via KiOne the robot, are parts of Key Infuser values.

 

The opportunity of collaborating with Verizon around those values on an original project(…) is exactly the type of real opportunities that Vivatech Show generates.

The 2 startups have chosen to work hand in hand to present the first platform including connected devices, home automation and Smart City data during the famous show.

KiOne presented Imperihome application’s  functionalities on Imperihome’s booth at the Eureka Park. Getting city air quality, checking city bike  availability, activating a home alarm,  closing the shutters, etc, all within this single application :  KiOne had so many options to choose from.

“KiOne managed to present easily the functionalities of the applicative part. KiOne energized the presentation.” mentionned Laurent Perez CEO of Imperihome/Ziblue.

“During the CES, our robot became the friendly assistant of Imperihome team. The variety of features within the application provided a very interesting use case : KiOne showed the first part and the visitor continued on his/her phone.” mentionned Domitille Esnard-Domerego, CEO of Key Infuser.

This time and for the first time, the TFWA hosted a Digital Village.

An obvious choice when you understand the importance of shopper experience in transit in the airports : 83% of the passengers enjoy brands communication and 83% expect communication which surprise them.

A nudge from the passengers to meet more technologies: they’re looking for being bedazzled and for starting their journey with exceptional, spectacular moments.

There at TFWA, KiOne presented the innovative smartphone application Perfume Adviser from Perfumist : starting from her perfume preferences, the user is transported to other perfumes that she can try in closest stores.
