The newest member of the Hanson robot family, Han, is just extraordinary. Making his debut at the [ Global Sources Electronics Fair] in Hong Kong -- one of the largest electronics fairs in the world -- the Frubber-faced fellow was the belle of the ball.

Mounted on a stationary clear body, through which viewers can see Han's electronic guts, the robot's face is the point of contact for kynghidongduong.vn interaction. It's programmed with pattern recognition software that, paired with a variety of cameras in its eyes and kinh nghiệm đi cửu trại câu chest, allow the robot to recognise and interact with the person in front of it.
