EMO is a companion robot designed to live on a desk. It explores its surroundings on its own and reacts to its owner with expressions and movements.

According to its official page, EMO can catch a cold and sneeze when the weather turns cooler. The owner is then invited to look after it and to check on it often.

Its skateboard doubles as a wireless charging base. The page adds that a phone can also be placed on it to charge.

Some features are still to come. The page says that remote communication between two EMO units is still in development and could arrive in a later update.
