One of the robotic standouts of the recent CES event was the new I-FAIRY robot from Kokoro Co. The robot, developed in conjunction with Japan's National Institute Advanced Industrial Science and Technology, gives the user the ability to essentially become a kind of remote puppet master.

The robot can programmed with the user's voice and accompanying body gestures that give the I-FAIRY a more natural feel when used for museum guide work or even corporate presentations. You can see video of the prototype robot in action here.
