Muu Socia Communication Robot
ムーソシア（Muusocia) is a communication robot developed by Systec Akazawa and ATR and was shown last week at a medical trade show in Tokyo. Designed to assist doctor/patient communication, it reacts to voice, has speech synthesis and facial recognition.
It's normal appearance is as a candy-drop shaped robot with one very human looking eye. The drop shape, however, sits over a fairly boring cylinder. A bit of redesign, and it could look like C3-PO.
