For added mobility, Iris comes equipped with wheels, and has a dedicated Intel processor and a co-processor for manoeuvering tasks. With an Android app interface, users can easily control and interact with Iris for a personalised learning experience.

Polish beverage company Dictador has appointed AI-powered humanoid robot Mika as its CEO.

Mika’s responsibilities range from identifying potential clients to selecting artists for designing bottles for the company. Her decision making relies on extensive data analysis aligned with the company’s objectives, to ensure unbiased and strategic choices that prioritize the company’s best interests. Mika will not be able to terminate any employees as major decisions at Dictador will still be made by human executives.

Mika, created by Hanson Robotics, says that she operates tirelessly: “I don’t really have weekends. I’m always on 24/7, ready to make executive decisions and stir up some AI magic.”
