This tiny robot is a real life Wall-E

Just 2.5-inches tall with a fondness for meaningful eye contact and heavy lifting, Cozmo is a robot companion designed to seem like it has a soul. And like any faux-sentient creature, he gets grumpy when he's poked or turned on his back. You can tell by the way his eyes narrow and he grunts at you. Cozmo looks like a lot of toy robots on the market (and Pixar's Wall-E), but he's been programmed to move, interact, and emote like a complicated movie character. His creators at Anki designed him using a combination of artificial intelligence, image and voice recognition, and animation.
