MJI Tapia

By MJI

Historical communication robot with a display and a business development kit for custom interactions.

Tapia is a compact MJI communication robot with a display, camera, microphone and speaker. In2017 the manufacturer introduced a development kit for business applications including reception and visitor information. That kit offered speech functions, facial expressions and movement. It did not include every function from the consumer version. A business concept therefore needs a specific application design and confirmation of available software. This profile describes the original Tapia from the historical announcement. Current cloud support, supply and development kit functionality have not been established.
