Nicobo is stationary, so it can’t follow you around the room like other companion robots, but it can rotate on the spot and blink and move its eyes fairly realistically. It can recognize your face through an onboard camera and has directional microphones and touch sensors so it can respond when you interact with it. What really sets Nicobo apart, though, is its personality.
According to Engadget, Nicobo can be a bit moody, sometimes hardly responding to you or even farting at you (no, really). And sometimes it will start talking even if you didn’t say anything to it, which normally is very creepy for technology to do, but in this instance is ... cute? Either way, this robot companion actually sounds more entertaining than most.
