JIBO, the world’s first family robot, has only been on the market for a few months. Due to popular demand, the company has held off on accepting preorders – for the time being – until they’ve completed all existing orders.

What makes JIBO so special? Well, this robot has the ability to see, hear, speak, learn, help, and relate. It houses two high resolution cameras, a microphone, has the ability to set reminders and send messages like Siri. It acts as a personal assistant to help simplify our day-to-day tasks and more.

JIBO’s extensive capabilities allows users to interact with it hands free, command it to take their photo, remind them of important tasks, read with their children, and more—making it the perfect addition to one’s Christmas list.

“JIBO’s potential extends far beyond engaging in casual conversation and completing daily tasks,” stated a representative at Yahoo.
