I-FAIRY Looks Cool, Doesn’t Do Much

When you first see the I-FAIRY, it’s exciting. It’s exciting because the I-FAIRY has sturdy looking legs, and looks like it can stand up and maybe even walk around. Buuuut, it can’t. It’s all a big lie. It can move its head and arms and swivel its torso back and forth, but all its really designed to do is sit there and provide information. Which is okay, I guess… You provide it with a bunch of prerecorded audio and it will detect when people are standing in front of it and start talking, automatically generating its own movement program as it does so.

And it has light up eyes. Yay!

I-FAIRY is brought to you by Kokoro, a part of Sanrio Group. Yep, Hello Kitty does robots.
