Otto is Samsung's cute personal assistant robot

Unlike the Echo though, it also has an HD camera on the face of it that can recognize faces or act as a security camera. There's also a small screen on it that displays a semblance of a face, plus it shows a variety of animations as well. If the weather is "rain," it'll show animations of rain drops, for example. As you can see in the video demo here, it can also "sing" and "dance" by bobbing its head around. It's being shown off at Samsung's developer conference to demo Samsung's ARTIK Internet of Things platform, which got the official nod from the company today as developers are now encouraged to create apps and devices to support it.
