Aeo the robot gracefully lifted the smartphone with its jointed arm,nh?ng trang có phim khiêu dam angled its clamplike hand into position, and took a selfie of us. Aeo is pretty photogenic; the humanoid robot had expertly turned its head towards the camera and flashed LED heart-eyes which immediately reminded me of Pixar's endearing robot protagonist WALL-E. Robots may turn on us humans one day, but this one is pretty cute.

The robot was created by Aeolus Robotics to perform tasks like delivery, UV germicidal disinfection, care for the elderly, and security, the latter of which puts a slightly sinister spin on its cutesy vibe.

That same vision intelligence also makes it an adept security guard in addition to a kindly night nurse. Aeo is able to detect open windows and misplaced backpacks, and patrol officers or schools for intruders with its 360 degree night-vision camera. It uses live video streaming and two-way voice communication to alert security teams if something appears to be afoot.
