The Touch Technology
Innovation, new usage’s discovery, all this is part of Accenture’s DNA. So, when Accenture met KiOne, the alchemy created itself immediately…
And that’s how 2 motivated KiOnes joined the digital innovations of Accenture R&D Labs, excited to be part of this Future !
Carrefour Banque just launched an incredible product called C-Zam : a credit card that you can buy on supermarket shelves and which you can activate in less than 10 minutes !
The KiOnes are proud to prove this technological achievement. At Carrefour and Carrefour Banque’s corporate offices, and in stores like in Villiers en Bière, the robots show you how to open an account “easy peasy” and all the great functionalities : transfer funds, manage caps, retrieve your passcode, etc.
Robotics technology highlighting fintech, its relevance and its usability, mission accomplished !
As part of their studies Skema’s students had a brand new mission this semester: imagine how KiOne’s abilities could be exploited for brand new use cases. Students haven’t lacked imagination! Not only were their ideas original but also very pertinent.
Electing the best concept hasn’t been an easy task. The winner of this entrepreneurship contest brings KiOne into a brand new world: agriculture. Meet KiOne’s sister, namely KiFlora.
Many thanks to the students and their teachers Renata Kaminska and Bruno Cirillo !
Those two days have been an immersion into a new era: new sensors to help monitor air quality, easy ways to book parking spaces, the new standards LoRa, 5G and plenty more innovations.
KiOne also performed most commendably. He was demonstrating the use of the Samsung Gear S3 watch. The watch capabilities go way beyond a traditional watch, and our small robot is the best at highlighting them.
Now KiOne has joined the Sphère, amongst the most innovative new products presented by Bouygues Telecom
It happened during the excellent conference #CommerceReloaded at the Echangeur in BNP Paribas Personal Finance headquarters. First, KiOne presented himself as a witness of the robotics tendancies in retail at the Start-Up village. It met his fans who came also for listening to the future retail experts: Nicolas Diacono, Guillaume Rio and Cécile Gauffriau.
Then, he settled in the Echangeur Showroom. Visitors seeking new immersive retail experience will be able to discover KiOne in flesh and blood !
We did anticipate the CES would help us get in touch with international customers, distributors and investors, but it is way more than that. Partnerships have indeed emerged, and we have also benefited from a great media coverage.
Last but not least KiOne has attracted many visitors from all over the world, which makes us proud of him. Thanks to his design we fulfilled our promise of attracting customers.
Now we gathered all ingredients to be ready for our product launch in March!
Key Infuser will present its robot, KiOne, at the CES in Las Vegas from 5 to 8 January 2017. This “robot-finger” has benefited from a new exceptional design signed by IOTA and which will be unveiled as a world premiere at the CES 2017.
KiOne was designed from its inception not to embrace the codes of a standard “humanoid” posture; it must be small enough to not overshadow the object to be highlighted, and sublimate it in a high-tech jewelry box. KiOne has to be precise and delicate to interact directly with objects and the smartphone.
He must stir, express few simple emotions to create a strong pedagogical connection when he demonstrates a product.
M. Philippe ARNAUD, IOTA Design Agency’s CEO: “Our objective for this design: highlight the connected product in a clean and soft case, while emphasizing the design of the robot, contrasted and drawn in the manner of an industrial robot arm. Robots, present in industry, are now within the reach of everyone, they arouse wonder and touch directly the children’s part of our souls. From the first drawing on the board to the final functional prototype, the IOTA team was passionate by this project, a true collaboration with Key Infuser, which led to KiOne and to Key Infuser brand’s identity. ”
Ms. Domitille Esnard-Domerego, Key Infuser’s CEO: “Working with IOTA seemed obvious: Philippe and his team immediately perceived the importance of the robot in our promise to demonstrate and explain complex products. Giving the robot a personality, fluidity in a technological context make our pedagogical message much simpler and easier to propose: KiOne is appealing, we want to discover which surprises he has for us. ”
The graphic and ergonomic dimension delivered by IOTA’s design led to a remarkable object that reflects the values implied by KiOne: education, contextual presentation, surprise, thrill and propose different scenarios.
KiOne will be presented as a world premiere, on booth # 51604, Sands Expo, Level 1, Hall G at CES 2017 in Las Vegas, at Eureka Park, which unites the world’s top 450 startups.
