"Pixar's adorable hopping lamp has been brought to life - and he could soon be lighting up your own desk at home. Developed by California firm Interaction Labs, Ongo the robotic smart lamp can move, see, hear and even talk. A promo clip shows the 'ambient desk lamp companion robot' peering curiously at objects and people around him while giving help around the home. And to allay any privacy concerns, he even comes with a pair of sunglasses blocking his view."
"Ongo has movements designed by Alec Sokolow, the Oscar-nominated writer of Pixar film Toy Story as well as Garfield: The Movie and Evan Almighty. As the promo video shows, Ongo spins on its base and self-adjusts its axis just like the legendary Pixar character. Depending on the user's needs, he can adjust levels of light that are emitted from his 'eyes' and bring them closer, for when reading a book after nightfall for example."
