The robot can also be controlled manually or set on a wide variety of modes such as sentry mode for security at night, baby cam to keep an on your child or even to play with your pet from work or school. This robot also learns the behaviours of every family member and reacts to them differently depending on their relationship with the person. If the robot is close to a person, they will always express their true feelings, but if they interact with someone they don’t feel any attachments towards, they will be polite no matter what emotions they are feeling. Another example is if someone at home kicked the bot on person, the bot will always have a sour image of that person until they do something nice.

The posted demonstration videos on Facebook and Instagram on how the robot works. The videos consisted of the bot communicating when it was happy or sad and this generated so much publicity. Many people were visiting the pages and liking and/or sharing the videos. Eventually they gave the bot a human name, Chucky. For some reason, it suited the bot and Chucky on the social media pages were always posting videos of trying new activities. He main personality was copied from R2-D2 who came from the star wars universe but he was a little nicer than R2-D2.
