Even a garden-variety robot can memorize specific tasks. What sets Domo apart is its ability to recognize people
and to sense and respond to its surroundings. Created by MIT's Aaron Edsinger and Jeff Weber, the bot can grasp
your hands when you touch its spring-loaded ones and
can place a cup on a counter. Its fine-tuned, eerily human eyes can see who's watching too.
Available: Prototype
