Especially designed for human-robot interaction topics, the humanoid Reddy is a development tool as well as an entertainment robot. By combining facial expression to arms movement, it easily express a wide range of emotions like joy, anger, sadness, surprise or disgust.

Nine quiet servos control parts of the face, such as lips, eyes pitch and yaw and eyebrows though eight quiet and powerful digital servos control neck pitch and yaw, shoulders and elbows.

Reddy can either run on a simple sequence script or be coupled to a more complex emotional system for very dynamic and realistic interaction. Optional hardware, such as microphones and cameras, can be added to the robot to perform localization and separation of sound sources as well as speech and objects detection and recognition. Sounds are played through a speaker installed on the chest. Moreover, the torso of Reddy is designed to be installed on many standard or non-standard mobile robot base for navigation.
