Somnox robot "breathes" to help people fall asleep. The company's founder Julian Jagtenberg explains how this product works, and its plans to enter the U.S. market.
"This is the world's first sleep robot," says Jagtenberg. "It's like a teddy bear for adults." The robot provides soothing audio like a heartbeat to help people meditate and fall asleep. Jagtenberg says his company is pioneering the future of sleep.
Jagtenberg says he hopes this robot helps people with sleep problems without the need of medication. Somnox will be at CES 2018 to offer a 'hand's on' look at this sleep technology. Somnox has raised 200,000 Euros through Kickstarter.
Apple CEO Tim Cook said Thursday that the majority of iPhones sold in the U.S. in the current fiscal quarter will be sourced from India, while iPads and other devices will come from Vietnam as the company works to avoid the impact of President Trump’s tariffs on its business. Apple’s earnings for the first three months of the year topped Wall Street’s expectations thanks to high demand for its iPhones, and the company said tariffs had a limited effect on the fiscal second quarter’s results. Cook added that for the current quarter, assuming things don’t change, Apple expects to see $900 million added to its costs as a result of the tariffs.
