Custom software solutions
Free up time to grow your business by automating repetitive tasks and building bespoke programs that make your work easier.
How it works
Deploying a social robot involves two components: hardware and software. The hardware component is the physical robot, assembled with the necessary components. The software component is the "life" of the robot, delivered through an application that provides the functions the social robot needs to perform.
The two components are connected, so the robot activates on keywords, questions or interactions with its built-in tablet. At IRIS Robotics we develop an Android application through which a social robot can answer questions, run presentations or perform any other important tasks as required.
What IRIS Apps is
IRIS Apps is a catalogue of applications for state-of-the-art humanoid social robots. These apps work in a similar way to those in the Google or iOS stores and give your robot the skills it needs to fit seamlessly into your business.
The custom software we develop specifically for each client is what brings the robot to life and gives it the functions your business needs. Every robot can be configured around your needs and preferences with a range of dedicated apps.
The catalogue lets you review the software functions available for the chosen robot and build the right configuration, with the option of implementing additional software functions and integrations that are not listed in the catalogue.
IRIS Apps — 14 apps for social robots
Each app can be configured on its own or combined with others for complex audience interaction scenarios.
Reception and greeting
The robot welcomes visitors, provides key information and directs them to the right department.
Facial recognition
Identifies returning visitors and delivers a personalised greeting based on stored data.
Interactive FAQ
Automatically answers common customer questions, with the option to escalate to a human operator.
Event check-in
Registers attendees at conferences, trade fairs and corporate events via QR scan or contact details.
Wayfinding and guidance
Guides visitors through the venue with visual and voice cues and an interactive map on the robot's tablet.
Product catalogue
Interactive presentation of the product or service portfolio with images, video and technical specifications.
Surveys and feedback
Collects feedback from customers or visitors through interactive questionnaires on the robot's tablet.
Calendar and bookings
Books meetings, demonstrations or consultations directly through the robot's interface, with calendar syncing.
Emotion recognition
Detects the emotional state of the person speaking and adjusts the robot's responses and behaviour accordingly.
REST API integration
Connects the robot to external systems through REST APIs for real-time data exchange with your company platforms.
POS integration
The robot can start or manage transactions at the point of sale, integrated with the company payment system.
CRM integration
Syncs data collected by the robot with the company CRM (HubSpot, Salesforce, etc.).
Interactive presenter
The robot runs company, product or service presentations with multimedia content, synchronised voice and gestures.
Entertainment and storytelling
Entertainment scenarios: dancing, interactive stories, quizzes, selfies and memorable moments with visitors.

Romanian-language module
A first for Romania: we have built a Romanian-language module so every user can communicate much more easily with social robots.
In 2020 we first deployed this module as part of the application we developed for the premium dental clinic network Unident, which installed four Pepper social robots in its receptions.
Voice and language customisation
Inside the software application we can customise the language and even the robot's voice, which is used for all the information conveyed to users. Social robots support every major international language: English, French, Italian, German, Spanish and more.
