Currently being shown off at Tokyo’s CEATEC conference, the robot uses face recognition technology to interpret the needs of visitors and assist them in acquiring information or directions displayed on an embedded touchscreen panel.
The robot’s faceplate also offers emotive feedback in the form of digital expressions to accompany its audio responses. A firm price hasn’t been announced but when released commercially the company expects the robot go for around 3,000,000 yen ($28,000) depending on the customer’s needs.
