“The robot was learning automatic movement algorithms on the testing ground, these functions will feature in the latest version of the Promobot.” The co-founder of the robot’s maker, Oleg Kivokurtsev, told ura.ru news agency.

It looks like a Ruusian copy of a Chinese knockoff of a Japanese “robot” that SoftBank sells. Is only purpose is to show slide shows on its lame Android tablet on its chest and notice and react when people pass by. Robot my ass. There is one outside my office every week and it just displays ads.
