I really want to see it interact with someone like move its head deeper into the hand that's petting it (to indicate it knows it's being petted, that it likes it, and that it wants more affection - something like that) but I did not see it in this video. Not $300 worth of it, anyway! Hmmmm, I wasn’t too impressed with the video as all the robot did was shuffle a bit, move its head back and forth and cry out a bit.
