Actually this reminded me of that episode of Big Bang Theory where Sheldon gets paranoid about germs or something and builds a similar device to interact with others. It was also the episode where they bring in Steve Wozniak.

They used this one: http://www.willowgarage.com/pages/texai/overview

You mean spin-off company? Suitable is developing the Texai robot into a product.


This is all correct. Suitable is a spin-off from Willow Garage, with many of the same people involved. Suitable's first product is based off the Texai project from Willow. The Texai was featured on the Big Bang Theory in one episode.


Din't think it was a real product, thought it was something they rigged up for the show. Thanks for the link.
