Kia ora families from Karori Normal!
At Clutterbot, our passion lies in simplifying the lives of parents through innovation. We're currently working on an exciting household robot designed to streamline the tidying and organisation of toys into designated boxes. This forward-thinking project has led us to seek the help of Wellington families with small children for a unique user research experience.
For families interested in this tech adventure, here's a sneak peek of what to expect:
- Our friendly robot and researchers will pay a visit to your home, requiring just an hour of your time.
- The robot will navigate your living space, learning about diverse toys and their surroundings.
- Your invaluable insights will play a pivotal role in refining our machine models, ultimately improving the efficiency of toy tidying.
As a token of our gratitude, enjoy a $40 Pak'nSave voucher. Simply relax and let our robot do its magic! Join us in making life a little easier for families worldwide.
If you're interested, you can connect with us at https://www.clutterbot.com/help-us-test
Many thanks,
- The Clutterbot crew :)
