Honestly, there were a lot of unknowns building Kuri that we didn’t account for in our original production schedule. We realized that some of the features that make Kuri an exciting and revolutionary home robot weren't up to the standard that they should have been. As a result, we needed to fix them. Here are a few examples: Kuri wasn’t successfully processing her wake phrase “Hey Kuri” as often as we had hoped for, so we partnered with SoundHound to collect more vocal samples to add to Kuri’s audio training library when developing the wake phrase recognition model. Kuri is much better at successfully processing voice commands from individuals with different tones and pitches, and will continue to improve with time.Re-designing the charger was crucial because Kuri was having a hard time seeing the charger to successfully auto-dock. We had to make design changes to the baseplate, infrared LEDs, and robustness to ambient lighting. The new design also meant we had to re-design the packaging. During our durability tests, parts of Kuri’s shell didn’t stand up to a few hard blows, so we had to go back and reinforce a few different parts with new plastics.
