For any homeowner, having a helpful robot companion around the home is the stuff of sci-fi-worthy dreams.Β
But American tech firm Nvidia is now among the companies keen to make this a reality.
In California on Tuesday, the chip giant unveiled Blue, a cute advanced AI-powered robot with two legs, just 3 feet tall.
Footage shows Blue β which looks like the robot from the Pixar classic Wall-E β walk onto the stage as it’s introduced by Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang.
‘Tell me that wasn’t amazing,’ Huang says to the audience, as Blue waddles up to him with a similar gait to a duck. ‘Look how smart you are!’
Like R2-D2 talking to C-3PO in Star Wars, Blue responds with an adorable series of bleeps and bloops as it looks up at its master.
