The document proposes a multipurpose home robot called Robit that features mobility, a robotic arm, sensors, and voice/image recognition. It would connect to an applications store with programming tools for developers to create apps for tasks like home security, entertainment, education, and assisting people with special needs. The founders have a working prototype and won third place in a startup competition. They plan to launch a crowd funding campaign and release a production version within 18 months.
