If you’ve ever wanted to see a robot made from Samsung devices, look no further: we’ve got one for you. Samsung recently teamed up with RT Corp to come up with a very unique robot named the XMAS HUGS Bot – a robot that features a Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 LTE and a Galaxy S2 LTE as its “brain” and “heart”, respectively. The XMAS HUGS robot is capable of interacting with users and dancing to music, and it can even give out hugs like its name suggests.

While the XMAS HUGS robot isn’t jaw-dropping, it’s still a pretty combination of Samsung’s Android devices with robot technology. The robot is located on the second floor of the Roppongi Hills Hillside zone in Japan – do check it out if you get the chance, or watch a video demonstration of the XMAS HUG robot or find out more in the explanation video below:
