Wizkid Robot From Europe

Looks like Europe is also pretty advanced in the field of robotics, with the Wizkid robot being on parade at the Museum of Modern Art in New York. This project claims to offer ‘social skills and physical presence by introducing the simplicity of everyday interactions in the world of computers.’ The learning curve is virtually non-existent, as the Wizkid will be able to understand you almost immediately. There is an “interactive halo” that follows the user everywhere, ensuring that the Wizkid’s tools are never too far away from being inaccessible. I wonder when will store fronts start employing robots such as these when greeting and helping hapless humans out. Probably a long time more in coming, I reckon.
