One out of five people are suffering a sleep issue in the world. The Dutch start-up company developed a sleep robot-Somnox. It is the latest attempt to address the problem using the robotic pillow that is claimed to improve sleep by helping regulate breathing and playing sleep-inducing sounds. /VCG Photo

The device will improve sleep by relaxing users body and mind while reducing stress and anxiety so they can fall asleep faster and deeper. The device can also wake people up feeling refreshed. /VCG Photo

By mildly expanding and contracting in a calming rhythm, the developers of the product indicate that the user will slowly and subconsciously adjust to their own breathing through the guidance of the Somnox. /VCG Photo

The Somnox will start being delivered in July, 2018. /VCG Photo
