It’s made by Jizai, which is based in Japan. The company calls Mi-Mo the “world’s first general-purpose AI robot,” and it’s supposed to think and act on its own. Someone was moving it with a Switch-looking controller when I saw it, so maybe it’s not quite up to autonomy yet.
When I heard tell of the connected oysters here at CES Unveiled, I thought they were going to be some silly rich people nonsense.
