CES 2024: Morakai companion robot

Microsoft Start, 1/24/2024

When we spotted Mirokai at Unveiled, we saw it do 360-degree spins, move its arms in a human-like manner, and gaze at onlookers inquisitively. 

At first, I thought the robot's engaging facial expressions were based on some sort of pre-programmed loop, but as it turns out, Mirokai was interacting with the crowd in real-time.  

Paraphrasing Ilyesse Laghouane, a mechanical designer for Enchanted Tools (the company behind Mirokai), the robot can detect faces and can recognize when someone is smiling at it. In response, it will smile back. 

The main use case for Mirokai is companionship. Laghouane foresees Mirokai being a robotic social therapy device for use in the medical sector, for example.
