A few days ago we told you about two new robots that have emerged in Japan:
M3-Kindy and Noby.
Noby is a humanoid baby that simulates a little baby aged 9 months.
The purpose of this type of robot is to be able to study its interactions with humans in behaviors that resemble a real baby.
The video below shows an auditory stimulation; Noby understands and turns around.

Here's another video showing a visual tracking of the robot on an object:
