Bearbot, a cute universal remote at your command

Meet Bearbot, an adorable and playful companion willing to make your life easier! Bred in Luxembourg, this domestic bear is looking for a loving home to settle down in.

Bearbot is your loyal companion!
Bearbot
Bearbot is an universal remote using following protocols: infrared, bluetooth, zigbee and radio. 
His virtual face livens up through his 1.44 inch TFT screen and he is able to detect your gestures thanks to a 3D gesture controller.
Bearbot completely recharges his batteries via induction (Qi system) in approximatively four hours. 
Mini Bearbot
Mini​ Bearbot has no screen and is not interactive. He is a relay that enables to expand the infrared range. 
The cub becomes indispensable when Bearbot stands too far from the device (more than 5 meters) or is hidden behind an obstacle. 
He functions with two LR3 batteries. 
Bearbot only needs to be trained once to learn the basic tricks. The mobile application tames him to identify the different remote control units:
Your bear is able to control numerous household devices such as: 
Bearbot replaces as many remotes as you wish. 
It is also possible to accumulate several functions in one gesture:
After his first training session, Bearbot is already tamed. Your companion pays attention to every gesture you make:
His senses allow him to detect your movements thanks to a revolutionary 3D gesture recognition sensor. 
Bearbot always displays the logo of the appliance you are about to control. You can rank and modify your devices list at any time on the app to simplify your navigation.

Moving from one device to another is easy :  
- A gesture from up to down allows you to switch to the next device  
- A gesture from bottom to top allows you to switch to the previous device

Beyond your interactions, Bearbot can still surprise you with spontaneous behaviors: sneezing, dancing, falling asleep…
In order to always get his full attention, you better keep Bearbot nearby. We recommend to have Bearbot close to hand. 
If he stands on the coffee table, you can use your foot but the motion should be performed accurately.

Bearbot prevents from providing a breeding ground for germs: by the time he is in place you no longer have to constantly manipulate him. 
When you’re cooking for instance, you don’t even have to wash your hands as you don’t touch your companion. 
Bluetooth’s, ZigBee’s and Radio's ranges are around 5 meters in a household environment.  
In case Bearbot is too far from the device (more than 5 meters) or is hidden behind an obstacle, mini Bearbot relays the infrared information. 
The mini one functions with two AAA batteries. 
Bearbot’s cub is also part of the adoption program.
