Berti--which stands for Bristol Elumotion Robotic Torso 1--can produce numerous humanlike gestures as it speaks, and in so doing creates the impression of a conversation.
The robot has been jointly developed by Bristol Robotics Lab and robotic hardware developer Elumotion, after the former decided it wanted to get more involved with humanoid robotics.
Berti was on display at London's Science Museum last week and Silicon.com headed over to meet him.
