He aims to make Einstein's knowledge and humor accessible to a new generation.

How much more like man

To make robots as similar to man, a nanotechnology skin called “viber” is also used in the production process. This aims to create androids that show real facial expressions. In the future, the company also wants to give its robots human skills as love and compassion.
