Product Development

Felix, the social robot that let’s you communicate your mood, a product by Happybots. While Felix was already on the market, the product needed some help to become a future-proof device. That’s where Vention could help.

Collaboration Scope

Objective

Creating a future-proof version of Felix. Migrating current features and continuous, stable availability of support and possibilities for product maturation, allowing for an addition of new features. All made possible with Wockel.

"We already built the prototype of Felix together with Vention in 2018, and that worked very well. Since then, we have further developed Felix as a social robot that enhances people's well-being by helping them communicate about their feelings. We are now a scale-up and were looking for a partner to make the firmware future-proof (complies with the RED-DA directive), stable and reliable. It was only logical that we ended up at the cradle of Felix, namely Vention. It has become a seamless collaboration and we are very happy with the final result!"
