YABO is friendly robot for lonely unmarried persons

This post is dedicated to mom. .. lately she's been mentioning online dating or questioning my sexuality :P - you think this would solve my woes?


From the Coroflot portfolio of : Kim Yong Seong

Featured Project : YABO

The best part about South Korean designer Kim Yong Seong's YABO Emotional and Friendly Robot concept is the initial description:

"YABO is friendly robot for lonely unmarried persons."

It doesn't get an blunter than that. YABO greets its lonely, unmarried master at the door upon arrival, monitors home appliances and electronics, maintains temperature and humidity, and expresses emotion by rotating and color-changing its face. Perhaps a nice option after online dating's failed you...
