A robot that resembles Link from Zelda mixed with a humanoid fox just stole the show at Unveiled,The Sex Files 2 A Dark XXX Parody 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.
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.
Mirokai can also serve as a mini assistant because it has opposable thumbs, allowing it to grasp things.
According to the official website, it has a "97% grasping success rate," making it potentially useful for the hospitality sector, too.
If you, like me, were wondering about how the designers came up with Mirokai's anime-inspired design, its eye-catching look came about by striking a balance between familiar and non-humanoid traits. 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.
