Robot in the home
A companion robot with its own voice layer. ONIOKO perceives how people respond and remembers across days. The voice layer stays the voice.
Robot in the home
A companion robot with its own voice layer. ONIOKO sits next to it: perceives how the people in the room respond to the robot, and remembers across days. The partner voice layer stays the voice.
- Family: Adults, children
- Robot: Sensors, partner hardware
- Voice layer: Partner, unchanged
- Consent: Subjects and consent
- Perception: Signals per moment
- Memory: Across days and weeks
- Export, deletion: At the family's request
Scroll. The map follows.
Family
The people the robot lives with. Each is its own subject with its own consent. Children: consent of the guardians, narrow purpose.
- One consent per person
- Revocation at the device, any time
Robot
Camera, microphone, speaker. The robot decides when a moment is captured. No continuous recording.
- Chosen moments
- Local buffer, then hand-over
Voice layer
The partner's own voice technology. It speaks. ONIOKO does not replace it, it gives it context: what is perceived right now and what is known from before.
- No change to the voice model needed
- Context arrives as data, not as scripted text
Consent
Consent is not a checkbox at the start. It constrains every call. Without valid consent for this subject, Perception returns "unavailable" and Memory writes nothing.
- Chosen moments, no continuous recording
- No emotion labels, no scoring, no diagnosis
- Revocation applies to running sessions at once
Perception
Reads observable signals from face, voice and body over time. Describes, never judges. "Unavailable" is a valid state, not an error.
- No labels, only measurable things
- Every signal carries its source
- The human keeps the interpretation
Memory
Keeps entries per person across sessions, with source and provenance intact. Distinguishes statement, confirmation, interpretation, hypothesis and correction.
- Sources stay visible
- Interpretations are marked as such
- Deletion removes entries and derivations
Export, deletion
Every family can see what is stored, export it or have it deleted at any time. The robot shows the way there.
- Deadline from the integration contract
- Deletion includes derivations
Steps
- Family. Each person is a subject with their own consent. Children: consent of the guardians, narrow purpose.
- Robot. Camera, microphone, speaker. It decides when a moment is captured. No continuous recording.
- Voice layer. The partner's own technology. ONIOKO gives it context as data, it does not change it.
- Consent. Checked before every hand-over. Without it, nothing leaves the robot.
- Perception. Signals per moment. On-device capability is open (fact 14).
- Memory. Across days and weeks, with source. On-device capability is open (fact 14).
- Export, deletion. At the family's request, with receipt.
Two variants: in the cloud variant chosen moments are handed over with consent. In the on-device variant parts of Perception run on the robot. Which parts can do that today is answered from the code, not on this page.
