According to the researchers, the little droid, which appears to be a real-life version of WALL-E from Disney’s beloved 2008 animated science fiction classic, uses advanced AI to replicate both natural gestures and deliberate actions with striking accuracy.
Initially trained by a human operator who used their own instincts and emotional intuition to guide its behavior, through the process, the robot learned to express a range of emotions, such as friendliness, shyness, or excitement, and even interact with people.
