Companion, Cohabitant and Continuum (Cee) : Building Relationships in the Space

Cee is not about creating a better robotic vacuum, and it’s not just a device. Cee goes beyond cleaning the space—it acknowledges that there is culture behind the act of cleaning. It is designed to recognize cultural perspectives, making it feel natural and meaningful in diverse spaces. Different cultures have different ideas about how space is used and organized, the presence and significance of objects within our homes, and what it means to interact with technology on an emotional level.

Moreover, there is a strong connection between cleanliness and mental well-being. Many traditions link a clean space to good fortune, harmony, and emotional stability. Therefore, Cee is not just a device—it is a living companion that shares the space with us. It’s about building relationships, because relationships are what make a house feel like home. Through four adaptive personas (Butler, Fortuneteller, Therapist, Cleaner), Cee listens, responds, and engages, fostering a deeper connection with its environment and the people within it. In this way, Cee becomes a new cohabitant in your space.
