A robot that resembles Link from Zelda mixed with a humanoid fox just stole the show at Unveiled,?? ?? ??? a showcase that provides a sneak peek of what's to come when CES 2024 officially kicks off on Jan. 9.
The bright-orange robot known as Mirokai drew crowds as it interacted with attendees with its quirky, virtual facial interface and its funky mobility via a rolling globe. But the question is, what does it actually do?

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.

Mirokai can also serve as a mini assistant because it has opposable thumbs, allowing it to grasp things.

If a robot is too human, it can be a little too freaky. However, if it's too unfamiliar, humans may find it difficult to connect with it.
Consequently, Mirokai combines human elements (i.e., arms and head) and animal features (i.e., long ears), with a slight Manga-like character twist, to make Mirokai more approachable.
