RoBoHon

RoBoHon is a smartphone disguised as a robot. Made by Sharp this bot will go on sale in 2016 as a smartphone, in Japan at least.

The little robot works as a normal phone, with a screen for a belly, but does more. The bot can move and talk for call alerts and more. It even has a projector in its face so it can lean forward and project larger images on surfaces. This could be useful for viewing photos, following a recipe or simply as a novel hands-free option.

How popular this will be worldwide, if it goes on sale outside of Japan, is hard to judge.
