Huggable

Huggable

Once again I need to profess my love to the brainiacs at MIT. Their latest project, "Huggable" is a robotic teddy bear complete with servos, sensors, webcams, speakers, articulated joints, and artificial intelligence. It even acts as a telepresence device mirroring the movements of a remotely controlled Huggable.

The Teddy Bot was designed for early learning and hospital use but lets get to the real deal here. This thing is about as close as we'll get to the lovable "TEDDY" in Spielberg's "A.I." DO WANT!
