This is a late breaking story on the blossoming exclusive partnership between Entech Creative Industries and Kokoro of Japan. While the details of the partnership are still under wraps (you’d better believe that this marketing guy will post them as soon as they’re available), we do know that the deal is structured towards Entech Creative taking on North American marketing, sales, and distribution of the Kokoro line of advanced robotics, also known as “Actroids.”
At this point two main means of distribution are being considered; development and construction of new and customized robotic characters and actroids, and rental of existing creations. With a large library of existing characters and animals readily available, Entech will be offering rental and leasing options for short term delivery. As well, with the ability to plan and develop highly developed, photo-realistic, multi-lingual actroids capable of complex motions and emotive expressions at a price point that is extremely competitive, Entech will be aggressively marketing these special built applications to a broad range of current and new customers.
Kokoro is very well known for life-like human robots (see the video in this post and the other video links to the Kokoro marketing videos we swiped on the way out of the lobby). The precision and hand craftsmanship of each of their robot projects is astounding and has been featured in a number of US publications, including Wired.com.
Future product launches for the Kokoro line are planned in the Theme and Amusement Park Industries (at the IAAPA show), Museum Industry (at ASTC and AAM), Experiential Marketing (through Entech’s marketing and advertising channels), and other direct sales and marketing routes.
