Robin comes out to the world using cloud funding.


Robin's cloud area is not just a file storage as storage, but where it functions at the OS level is different from the general cloud storage service. This enables seamless data exchange, making it possible to evacuate to the cloud with each application. In addition, the app evacuated to the cloud is grayed out and you can instantly download from the cloud by tapping the gray icon.

The OS adopts a light customized Android 5.1 Lollipop (it may be changed to Android 6.0 Marshmallow), and 100 GB of cloud storage is available for all Robin for free.


Robin asked for investment at the cloud funding site Kickstarter and it was a super-discount price that allowed one Robin body to be earned with a contribution of $ 299 (about 36,000 yen) as a benefit of early bird (early investment), so only 1,000 units The Early Bird Frame is a breath. In addition, we also achieved a target price of 500 thousand dollars (about 60 million yen) in just one day, with the help of price setting that you can get Robin body with an equity investment of 349 dollars (about 42,000 yen). In addition, we have achieved a stretch goal set at 1 million dollars (about 120 million yen), and we have also decided that all Robin will receive an optional quick charger.


Robin develops two colors, Mint and Midnight.


The high performance of the 13 million pixel rear camera is also big ri. It is equipped with quick autofocus and it is possible to shoot in RAW mode.


We also incorporate the latest trends such as installing a Type-C USB port.
