Will Jackson, founder of Engineered Arts, demonstrates its Roles feature for configuring desktop robots with Jason behind the camera and Louise as the example robot.
Jackson introduces Roles as a way to set a robot’s behavior, interaction style, and knowledge for a particular situation. Louise explains that users access the feature through a browser and their Tritium account.
Louise describes the Roles controls for identity, languages, voices, personality, specialist knowledge, and abilities. Jackson changes Louise’s name to Chloe, switches her to French, and later adds English, French, German, Spanish, and Japanese.
Jackson configures Louise as a paint salesperson by choosing a paint-focused personality and adding paint color information. He also enables vision and voice-based customer recognition as abilities.
Louise describes an industrial-looking room with a bright central light, metal structure, and stacked boxes. Asked for paint suggestions, she recommends Sapphire Salute or Tranquil Dawn, then lists Dulux options including Polished Pebble, Egyptian Cotton, and Spiced Honey.
