Ah, the Fujitsu bear cub social robots. What child or elderly person should go without a "people-friendly Terminal" with snuggly soft fur and a camera instead of the popular button nose? The little guy made short the round this year, but this is our first time to make acquaintances. The duo waved us, waved us, laughed with (?) us and then eventually decided arbitrarily fall asleep, ignore uns-- just like our actual friends! The representative told us this prototype - with a reported 300 actions 12 actuators (three face, three neck and six in the body), 13 skin touch sensors, hand grip sensors, a tilt sensor and a microphone - one unchecked way of hitting childcare / nursing home market. For now, enjoy the pictures below and footage, after the break... and if all this eerily familiar hey seems, we are with you. A wink and a nod in this direction can be found on the second video.
