From the Coroflot portfolio of : Kim Yong Seong

Featured Project : YABO

The best part about South Korean designer Kim Yong Seong's YABO Emotional and Friendly Robot concept is the initial description:

"YABO is friendly robot for lonely unmarried persons."

It doesn't get an blunter than that. YABO greets its lonely, unmarried master at the door upon arrival, monitors home appliances and electronics, maintains temperature and humidity, and expresses emotion by rotating and color-changing its face. Perhaps a nice option after online dating's failed you...

Detail looks well considered for a work of student designer, but eventually I agree with the comment of "themark"
