Personal assistant robot resembling EVE from WALL-E watches over home with built in 'security camera'
A personal assistant robot with a built-in camera will watch over your home for you, as well as sending you pictures, video and traffic updates.
Otto, created by Samsung, is described as a Chief Person Assistant Officer and is a handy friend to have around the house.
It looks remarkably like EVE from Pixar's hit movie WALL-E.
The video above shows Otto giving traffic updates as well as taking photos and sending them to family and friends.
The HD camera can stream live video to your mobile phone, tablet or computer, which essentially means Otto can also double as a home security device.
Amazingly, the camera can also recognise faces and control various connected gadgets around the home - for example, light switches or the fridge.
If it's raining outside, Otto will display raindrops on the front screen as well as various other animations depending on the app being used at the time.
The device can also sing and dance.
At Samsung's keynote speech, Curtis Sasaki, Vice President of Ecosystems and IoT General Manager, announced the arrival of Otto in conjunction with its new ARTIK Internet of Things platform.
