Overview
Telenoid is a robotic communications device. You connect to the robot over the Internet, and it will transmit your voice and mimic your face and head motions. It's like a mobile phone shaped like an alien. The Telenoid R1 was created at Osaka University by a team led by Hiroshi Ishiguro. The goal was to design a telepresence robot that could reproduce the voice and movements of a remote operator. The size of small child, the robot has a soft torso with a bald head, a doll-like face, and stumps in place of limbs.
