World’s first sleep robot includes app to download soothing sounds
LONDON: Somnox, the world’s first sleep robot, has begun shipping worldwide.
Somnox was created to help consumers prevail against sleep deprivation and insomnia, sleep better, and live a more healthy, productive life.
The sleep robot, shaped like a pillow, works by using scientifically proven cognitive and simulated human breathing techniques to accelerate the process of falling asleep.
The proprietary technology inside Somnox includes multiple sensors, including a CO2 sensor to detect the user’s breathing and help to regulate it, an accelerometer to detect movement, a speaker to play audio, and an intelligent algorithm to soothe the user to sleep.
It also provides users with soothing audio sounds such as heartbeats, lullabies, white noise and guided meditation, which are included in the accompanying iPhone and Android-compatible Somnox app.
Users also have the option to upload personal audio files to the included SD card. Personal preferences can be set during the day and ensure a tailored approach to improve the user’s sleep during the night.
