Eggy, mobile robot for fairs, stands, conventions, stores, shopping centers
Eggy is the robot for fair events and public places, able to be present inside an exhibition stand, as well as at the entrance of a store, museum or public office. It was born on a specific request, the stand of a scientific event, where its task was to illustrate in an "automated" way the products of the pharmaceutical brand.
The shape and the interaction have been studied in detail, giving the robot a successful "robotic appeal" specifically for trade fairs or social gathering events in general. Even in places with limited entry due to Covid-19, Eggy is programmed to give information to customers and visitors spaced apart.
The robot is totally realized in NuZoo Robotics. Our in-house skills allow us to make any kind of robot, so once we understand the customer's needs, we can customize the Eggy experience with totally different shapes and performances.

IT IS POSSIBLE TO CUSTOMIZE THE EGGY EXPERIENCE WITH DIFFERENT SHAPES AND PERFORMANCES
An entertainment robot that interacts with people
Eggy has proved to be a valid robot for fair events, capable of a very good interaction with human beings. It has shown a strong ability to attract attention thanks to its mobility and through animations created with the movement of its components (arms, head and body).
Eggy is able to not only communicate but also move safely around people
An interactive robot is also capable of movement. Communication and movement have gone hand in hand. Its intelligence allows it to detect the number of people nearby and move safely through the use of a laser scanner. In case of specific needs, Eggy can be conveniently controlled manually through a Joypad or a mouse by connecting to its Web interface, accessible via Wifi.
The interaction with the public was made possible thanks to two components: the robot's ability to speak and a touch-screen
The user more open to human-machine interaction was able to converse while, those more reluctant to change, were able to take advantage of the touch-screen. The robot was set up for verbal and written response. Delivering the right information at the right time. When the robot detects one or more people within its visual space, at that moment the robot initiates the interaction. The dialogue with the audience was clearly marked by a series of specific questions. Phrases that Eggy could recognize, so as to be able to follow a logical path, made of questions and answers, set in the field of interest of the pharmaceutical company in question. Within this logical path, the robot was able to clearly communicate the desired message.
A tireless colleague
The omnidirectional wheels, which allow it to move in all four directions and thanks to the gliding effect they create, have given it a futuristic and elegant touch. An elegant and customizable movement and its autonomy of charge allow it to run 4 hours continuously. Eggy comes with a portable charging station.
