Hai Bao robot
The folks by at Zhejiang University have developed a friendly robot known as Hai Bao, which when translated from Chinese would mean “maritime treasure”. Standing 155cm tall, it comes with an LCD display that shows off animated facial expressions. Apart from blurting out greetings in half a dozen languages, Hai Bao sports an intelligent hand-shaking system. Hai Bao is plus able to interact with tourists by
snapping photos on their behalf, perform a little jig or even sing some songs. Doesn’t sound like someone you would want to employ for your office reception area though.Permalink: Hai Bao robot from Ubergizmo | RSS Sponsor: Win a Fellowes Microshred Paper Shredder!
