(credit: Robopec) REETI Media Center PC | US$tbc | www.reeti.fr
there are times when we felt miserable watching a movie alone at home. thanks to the folks from the French firm Robopec, you might not be that lonely anymore. Robopec recently showcased the REETI which is both a media center PC and a robot. what’s impressive is that this robot, which looks to be a cross between a Shrek and frog, is capable of showing a range of emotions and response to both speech and touch. catch the REETI presentation after the break to see for yourself. i know, i’m impressed.
REETI has two independent cameras built into its eyes and has the ability to track people. seriously, the tracking part does creep me out. words are that REETI would be seeing production at some point in time but i certainly hope that they will have more design and color options by then. in the mean time, check out the presentation video after the break.
