Probo is an intelligent huggy robot that is developd as research platform to study cognitive human-robot interaction (cHRI) with a special focus on children. The robot Probo is designed to act as a social interface, providing a natural interaction while employing human-like social cues and communication modalities. The robot has a fully actuated head, with 20 degrees of freedom, capable of showing facial expressions. A remarkable feature is the moving trunk and the soft and huggable jacket. A user friendly Robotic User Interface (RUI) enables the operator to control the robot. More info: http://probo.vub.ac.be

He's really cute but cute turns to emotionally scarring once this thing goes on the fritz. Keep it the hell away from toddlers, they will break the poor little guy within 2 minutes.
