Sometimes it may feel like only GIFs truly understand you. Well now you can make a bot that will always catch your drift. A user on Imgur by the name of Shekit, created a custom robot that can respond to your voice with GIFs. Peeqo, the name of this GIF-tastic bot, is truly a marvelous hybrid of design and code -- and while its inventor writes that creating him was a "complex build," all of Peeqo's materials are easily available online. In Shekit's words, "Peeqo is a personal desktop robotic assistant who expresses himself through GIFs. Think of him as the love child of Amazon Echo and a Disney character. He has a conversational UI, so he responds to voice commands but answers only through GIFs."

It's the perfect work companion for meme fans – a robot that sits on your desk and communicates entirely through GIFs. Called Peeqo, this personal robotic assistant consists of a Raspberry Pi micro, motors, numerous microphones, a USB speaker and an attached LCD screen. The pint-sized machine uses voice recognition from Google Speech API and API.ai to listen and respond to your queries.

The robot also has a camera that lets it to record what is'sees' and it can play music from Spotify when asked.

Abhishek Singh graduated from NYU's ITP program and clearly he learned a lot about the future of computing. During his tenure there he quickly fell in love with hardware startups and, with a little grit and programming work, he created Peeqo, a robot that responds only in GIFs. That's right: this is a robot that replies only in animated video clips. "I've always been fascinated by robots and I built this as part of my thesis at ITP. One of the reasons I wanted to build this bot was because I feel a lot of the conversation on social robotics today centers around their inability to express emotion or to be relatable," he said.
