Why it matters

- Classroom assistant in schools with 200+ students, providing individualized brief conversations to supplement teacher attention during high-enrollment periods.
- Hospital lobby reception companion, greeting incoming patients and families, providing wayfinding context and emotional reassurance in waiting areas.
Safety-first design
No manipulation capability by design, reducing injury risk around children and vulnerable populations in schools, museums, and hospitals.

When to deploy this.
- Museum floor guide, conversing with visitors and fielding logistics questions, 50–100+ patron venue (daytime operation).
- Classroom assistant in schools with 200+ students, providing individualized brief conversations to supplement teacher attention during high-enrollment periods.
- Hospital lobby reception companion, greeting incoming patients and families, providing wayfinding context and emotional reassurance in waiting areas.
Limitations
When to skip it.
- Cannot perform any physical manipulation (fetch, carry, push buttons) — constrained deliberately for child safety; near-term upgrades to button-pressing only.
- Emotional recognition unreliable — cannot detect user sentiment unless they gesture in "very exaggerated and animated" manner; limits therapeutic or support roles.
- Still in pre-launch prototype phase (pilot studies begin 2026) — multiple technical quirks unresolved; frequent interruptions in conversation and adult acceptance divided due to uncanny appearance.
