Japanese robotics company Jizai introduced the Mi-Mo robot during this year's CES Unveiled. It appears to be something between a stool and a lamp, reflecting the look of the Pixar mascot. It is a robot backed by AI technology and it is the first 'customizable general-purpose AI robot' in the world.
The robot rests on top of six sleek legs made with a wooden cap and metal material. It gently responds to those who pass by and enchants visitors with its charming design. Mi-Mo is developed with various AI models to allow the robot to think, act, and adapt to the changing environments that is nestled in -- it adapts visually, to audio, and to movements.
