The only real use for the ballon is indoor advertisement.

1:37 yeah we’ve seen plenty of movies about robots that are meant to make emotional connections. Subservience, Accused, Ex Machina, A.I., iRobot, etc.

I remember wanting an RC toy shark balloon when I was a kid. It worked practically the same way as this does, just RC-controlled. That was 20 years ago…

I hope it can self-dock for recharging batteries and helium. Maybe it’ll be useful if users also have a dedicated heavy humanoid bot to keep it charged and floating! 😂 Not sure how I feel about a bot handling helium in my house though. Maybe the helium tank is a bot itself that ensures the humanoid bot doesn’t do something dangerous when refilling the floating bot… Hmmm, futuristic bot slippery sloped is unlocked!
