It seems that Sony will not only offer the future of the game with the next PS5, but also a friendly robot companion.
The PS5 is already one of the most anticipated versions of 2020, but it looks like Sony won’t be happy with just releasing the next generation console. Just recently it was revealed that the company had filed a patent for what appears to be a new product.
A robotic playmate
A list on the US Patent and Trademark Office The website was recently discovered and the illustration shows a fuzzy robotic companion who was sitting next to the players on the couch while they were playing their games.
According to the illustration, the robot looks like a cloud without a mouth but with adorable cartoon eyes and a pair of boots to accompany it. The robot’s companion could speak and move his arms, legs or neck depending on the player’s emotions.
The robot is not only a playmate because it can also sit with the user while watching a movie or TV show,
Autonomy
Users will not have to place the robot next to them to get a reaction because the patent says that the robot would have some kind of independence and could sit next to a player without being too close. More than that, the robot would be able to play games with the user so they don’t have to play alone. For example, the robot could control the opposing team in a baseball game.
If Sony pushes for such a robot, Playstation players will never have to play alone again.
Sensation deduction unit
The patent describes the robot as having a “feeling deduction unit”, which is basically a control system that would allow the robot to detect the emotions of a user and then take action relevant to the situation. The robot could detect love, anger, joy and even surprise. This will be made possible by an additional sensor that could track a player’s heart rate as well as the amount of sweat produced.
A real relationship
Sony predicts robot is “real” companion not just a disposable item that came with a game console. In fact, the patent says that the robot would have a “love clue,” which means how the robot responds to a user depends on how user processes it.
The robot would be sensitive to the words of the user, especially during moments of tension. If treated negatively, such as when a user kicks it or tells the robot that it is noisy or even when the user neglects to charge it even when asked, the robot will be deemed unpopular and will no longer respond or sympathize with the user.
This would teach the user to be aware of the robot and to treat it as an authentic person.
What Sony hopes for the companion robot
Sony was not stingy with details regarding their potential robotic product. In the patent, Sony explains that it wants the robot to improve the user experience and make it more pleasant.
“It is expected that the user’s affinity with the robot will be increased and that the motivation to play a game will be improved by the robot who watches the gameplay next to the user and is happy or sad with it. ‘user. In addition, with regard to not only the game, but also a film, a television program or the like, it is intended that the user can enjoy the content more by viewing the content with the robot compared to the case of watching it. alone “. the patent bed.
