The Heart Robot has a beating heart that slows down when the machine is treated gently and rises when shaken. It also flutters eyes and responds to touch.

McGoran, a researcher in the Department of Robotics at the University of West England, told in an interview that he had his background in puppetry and dance and it was full of fun for him to work on this project.

“Wall-E’s new robot is a good example of social and emotional robotics as it’s a nice expression robot,” McGoran states.
“Robots are usually considered cold, hard, steel machines but now we are trying to change this image trying to make them cute, cuddly and infant-like those respond to us just like pets.” McGoran adds
