Leonardo: The most expressive robot in the world today!

At MIT, Cynthia Breazeal and her team are building robots with social intelligence that communicate and learn the same way people do. Her favorite robot is Leonardo. Leonardo is the most expressive robot in the world today. Leonardo's expressiveness arises from its ability to move its eyes, mouth, ears, and arms to express a wide range of emotions.

Although highly articulated, Leonardo is not designed to walk. Instead, its degrees of freedom have been selected for their expressive and communicative functions. It can gesture and is able to manipulate objects in simple ways. Although it is not humanlike, the developers have intentionally given Leonardo a youthful appearance to encourage people to playfully interact with it, much as one might with a young child.

There's only 3 rules:

1. Don't expose him to light

2. Don't get him wet

BUT MOST IMPORTENTLY 3. Don't feed him after midnight!

'cookie monster is very bad' leo looks at it then back at the human then reaches out to cookie monster again and rips the toys head off effortlessly. then looks up, smiles and nods at the human like he just saved his life, the human is holding his wrist in pain while backing up shitting himself and looking into the camera like he made a huge mistake telling it that
