Pirkus is capable of remembering people he meets and can later on point these faces out in a large crowd.

The humanoid is 30 cm (11.8 inches) high, weighs one kilo (2.2 pounds) and can be controlled via Bluetooth compatible computers or cell phones. It can also shoot and send pictures with its built-in camera.
