Mall Bot Keeps Tabs on the Kids

Don’t worry, the robot is watching the kids.

“Communciation Robot” is the new Kid’s Club president at the Aeon Mall in Fukuoka, Japan, and is seeking John Connor “recruits”. Aside from promotional and mall-guide duties, “Communication Robot” uses a “QR-Code” reader and official Kid’s Club membership badges to keep track of the Kid’s Club members he talks to, remembering their names, and birthdays.

“Communciation Robot” is based on a new tmsuk platform, similar to the RIDC, and speaks, has the ability to communicate via cell phone and text message, and has a video projector mounted in his left eye. And if I were five years old and living in Fukuoka, he would be my new best friend.
