ROPID is another Japanese robot, that has been added with more cute elements, good communication skills and mobility. The ROPID was developed by Tomotaka Takahashi of Robo Garage at Kyoto University, is tiny in size, and able to respond to voice commands and speak with its mouth moving to present its cuteness.
Besides communications, ROPID is also able to walk, run and jump more rapidly than any other similarly constructed robots. The actual size of the ROPID is apparently shown in the picture below.
It’s certainly a robot for those lonely city dwellers, which they can have someone to talk to after a hard day of work. It could be like your new born but with better communication and mobility to keep the rest of your day with more fun. Video below shows the mobility of the ROPID robot.
