This unique robot is smart enough to nod its head, wave its hand and even say "Hi" while communicating with others in the complex Chinese language. Most of the robot consists of sonar equipment, a single microphone, a couple of LED lights, two driving wheels, and a directional wheel. He will be able to work for up to 10 non-stop hours before requiring a 3 hour charge. Best of all is, he won't be involved in office politics and you sure as heck won't catch him sleeping on the job.
