It is a robot helper being developed to help people with jobs they do. Learn how Modo's large blue eyes are able to "see". Watch Modo take and hold objects and move them from side to side to get a feel for their size. Then see how Modo puts the objects on a shelf. Touch Modo on the arm. Watch what happens! It will respond to your touch. If you push it too hard, it will say, "Ouch"!
