(Reuters) - A humanoid robot is featuring in the theatre play "Spillikin" in London.
The play brings love and technology together for a story about a robot maker who builds a robot to keep his wife company after he dies.
The robot is connected to the theater’s control room, where a laptop transmits cues for its performance.
Onstage, the cast talks to the robot and even kisses it. In return, the robot replies, displays facial expressions and moves its hands.
Moreover, "Spillikin" runs in London until March 19 and continues its tour until April.
