It's another animated friend to add to your
collection of 'bots that might not ever appear in
the US -- although it might make it into
space. Toyota's Kirobo mini is tiny. In fact, it's
small enough as to 'install' into your auto's cup
holster -- if you're willing to part with your
commuter latte. The robot forms part of Toyota's
AI and human interaction research that it and
several Japanese universities are working
together on. Like its smartphone
relative, the Mini gesticulates, can respond to
voice requests and apparently even detect a
drivers' emotions. (There's a camera built into
the little guy. He's not psychic. Yet).

According to Toyota, the robot could help analyze
the behavior and actions of drivers in the future,
"informing future innovations and developing
transport that's in tune with the driver's mood".
Sounds a lil' bit sinister, but Toyota isn't letting
on just yet how it'll apply its Kirobo Mini to
harvest our feelings. SOURCE: Kirobo Mini
