Key differences at a glance:

RoboThespian with Hard Face - our standard model RoboThespian

In the head 2 LCD screens bring the robots eyes to life, RGB LEDs capable of any colour bring colour to RoboThespian's cheeks, while a high speed servo synchronises mouth movements with speech. Custom electronics control and synchronise these features.

RobotThespian with Projected Face - option

A different head design with an onboard pico projector projects the entire face of the robot. The face can take on any form, you can even create your own guises (faces) for the robot, using our InYaFace software. The face is animated in real time and can show any expression. InYaFace runs on the robot and is accessed in your browser - no installation required.

RoboThespian with Gripping Hands - option

The standard model RoboThespian's arms are designed for fluid motion and lifelike gesturing. If you want to be able to grip and grasp objects with the same fluid motion we can offer Gripping Hands.
