The pint-sized machine is designed to fetch information, tell stories, and <strong>hold conversations with its human owners<\/strong>, who will be rewarded in $RICE tokens every time they engage with it. That\u2019s right: it\u2019s a robot that pays you for attention.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"RICE ROBOTICS TO LAUNCH A CUSTOM FLOKI AI POWERED ROBOT AND THE $RICE TOKEN\" width=\"840\" height=\"473\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/_rz6CObU7cc?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"908\" data-end=\"1193\">The $RICE token, which fuels this arrangement, will go live on TokenFi Launchpad. Anyone holding Floki\u2019s other coin ($FLOKI) or TokenFi\u2019s token ($TOKEN) can expect some free digital change to drop into their accounts via airdrops\u2014no word on whether the robot will deliver it in person.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"1195\" data-end=\"1531\">Backers of the project include some heavy hitters like SoftBank, Nvidia, and Dubai Future Foundation. Rice Robotics already has machines running errands for 7-Eleven in Japan and performing office duties at SoftBank\u2019s headquarters. Apparently, the next logical step is building robots that double as needy flatmates with crypto wallets.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"1533\" data-end=\"1851\">Floki, meanwhile, is stretching beyond dog-themed coins into artificial intelligence and asset tokenization through its sister company TokenFi. Its hope is that robots will someday swap training data with each other the way humans swap stories in pubs\u2014only without the beer, and hopefully with fewer misunderstandings.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"1853\" data-end=\"2181\">Rice Robotics recently bagged $7 million in a pre-Series A funding round, which included contributions from Alibaba Entrepreneurs Fund and others. The goal? A decentralized robot data network, where bots learn from each other without having to report back to headquarters\u2014sort of like the office gossip grapevine, but with code.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"2183\" data-end=\"2456\">With analysts estimating the AI robotics sector could surpass $100 billion by 2030, Floki and Rice are betting people will be open to the idea of a friendly robot who can play your favorite playlist, schedule your dentist appointment, and throw in a few coins for the chat.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"2458\" data-end=\"2727\">Whether this becomes the new normal or just another chapter in tech\u2019s long history of odd inventions remains to be seen. But for now, the idea of a robot that listens to your stories <em data-start=\"2641\" data-end=\"2646\">and<\/em> gives you money sounds like a futuristic therapy session\u2014minus the hourly rate.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"2729\" data-end=\"2777\">Would you let a robot pay you to be your friend?<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><script>\n\t\t\t\t(function(d, s, id) {\n\t\t\t\t\tvar js, fjs = d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0];\n\t\t\t\t\tif (d.getElementById(id)) return;\n\t\t\t\t\tjs = d.createElement(s);\n\t\t\t\t\tjs.id = id;\n\t\t\t\t\tjs.src = \"\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/sdk.js#xfbml=1&version=v2.5\";\n\t\t\t\t\tfjs.parentNode.insertBefore(js, fjs);\n\t\t\t\t}(document, 'script', 'facebook-jssdk'));\n\t\t\t<\/script><br \/>\n<br \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Warning: mysqli_query(): (HY000\/1021): Disk full (\/tmp\/#sql_2fa_2.MAI); waiting for someone to free some space&#8230; (errno: 28 &#8220;No space left on device&#8221;) in \/home\/forge\/blog.coinspectator.com\/public\/wp-includes\/wp-db.php on line 1924 Robot Roommate Wants to Chat, Play Music, and Pay You in Crypto Floki teams up with Rice Robotics to release a talkative gadget that rewards human interaction with tokens and [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":289162,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[99653,99343,120168],"tags":[10954,1517,11007,30325,3642],"dealstore":[],"offerexpiration":[],"class_list":["post-289161","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-bitcoin","category-blockchain","category-floki","tag-crypto","tag-friend","tag-pay","tag-privilege","tag-robot"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.4 -
