The boffins at robotics startup TheCorpora have released a video showing how long it takes to assemble their charming little droid Qbo.
The bot recently entertained us with vids in which it recognized itself in a mirror, and then recognized Jane234, the female of the species.
Powered by an open-source Linux platform, Qbo is designed to be a communications robot that’s part of our everyday environment. It lacks arms and legs, but makes up for limitations on physical interactivity with its charm. It’s also fun to dress up.
