And what's cool is one can control Romo from anywhere in the world using a computer. But Keller says they are developing an app that will allow the user to control Romo, using an iPhone from anywhere in the world.
"You see everything that the robot sees and it's kind of like Skype if you can move around in a three-dimensional space."
According to Keller, an important reason why people are obsessed with it is that people feel they share an emotional connection with their robot.
"Actually one of our investors that bought a robot, I remember him calling us and being like my nephew is – obsessed with the robot! But we've been shocked by is the way that humans interact with Romo, it's very emotional, when that device has a face on it and it is wandering around murmuring in like baby robot language and bumping into your bed. People have an emotional connection, they feel that it's something they have to take care of."
Even though Romo still has many little glitches, it's hard for people not to fall madly in love with Romo with a price tag of just 150 US dollars. It's quite an easy sell, as it is a pet, a playmate, a companion and a stroke of genius.
