I would prefer a video-based, internally-projected face over these super-fake rubber faces. Maybe someday when the tech is much better, but, “no thanks” at this point.

Ah… nothing like tech companies burning cash on a “talking” (its really text to speech 🙃) robot with botox and lip filler less articulation than a barbie doll even in its face 😂that has a sharp sense of humor..???? It can read, can see colours and.. but can it fold my laundry or vacuum my whole house? NOOO our clients want a doll that is plugged in the wall to watch them 24/7 because wAlkiNg bbreAkS the iLluSiOn offf ReaLity 💅… what innovation

Obviously have no futuristic vision. They are companions that can be helpful in senior living, hospitals, brand ambassadors, tutors in schools, etc. I don’t need a robot to fold a towel in two minutes. You are going to miss out on the future with that attitude for sure.

Wow the vision system is going to be a game changer ! The bots will be able to recognize you as you communicate. This is a few tweaks away from feeling 90% real

Mouth movements are totally janked to the point where I am left wondering what’s the point of these things. A simple walk up kiosk with a touchscreen interface would suffice in this situation and accomplish basically the same thing.
