Romotive is the startup behind "Romo" – a device that turns your iPhone or iPod Touch into an interactive robot on wheels.

You can control Romo from anywhere in the world using any other smart device, or a browser. That means Romo can essentially act as a sort of "Skype on wheels."

Romotive is also working on smile and frown recognition, which would enable Romo to read and react to human emotion.

Keller Rinaudo and Jen McCabe of Romotive tell us how Romo can become Toy Story-like relatable robot in real life.
