SICO Family Robots are instantly recognizable icons of futurism that suggest technological advancement and savvy, and the excitement of the new. They satisfy the public's fascination for the "world of tomorrow" and their non-human status affords them the rare opportunity to overcome the restrictions of social protocol, bonding with your target audience in the friendliest and most intimate manner, generating consumer loyalty as well as interest for any licensing or merchandising program that your robot may be associated with.
