I am talking about the ROBOT boy built by David Hanson .Its a robot boy with 17'' height and weighing 6 pounds.
He is the outcome of 5 yrs hardwork of Hanson and his group.
Eventhough the robot cant walk or talk he has blinking eyes which can track a person and he is able to express as in this picture below..
Hanson says he envisions Zeno as an interactive learning companion, a synthetic pal who can engage in conversation and convey human emotion through a face made of a skin-like, patented material Hanson calls frubber.
"It's a representation of robotics as a character animation medium, one that is intelligent," Hanson beams. "It sees you and recognizes your face. It learns your name and can build a relationship with you."
One of the robot Zeno's biggest advancements is that its brains aren't inside the robot. Instead Zeno synchs wirelessly to a PC running a variant of Massive Software — the same Academy Award-winning code that enabled the fantastical battles among humans, orcs and elves in the "Lord of the Rings" movies.
