1. A robot comprising:
- a robot body comprising an expressive element;
a processor in communication with the expressive element; and
a communication device disposed in the robot body and in communication with the processor, the communication device configured to establish a communication link with a mobile computing device;
whereinthe processor is configured to;
receive data from a sensor;
determine a user input based on the data from the sensor;
send the user input to a remote service via the communication device;
receive command data from the remote service via the communication device; and
cause the expressive element to perform an action corresponding to the command data.

Abstract
Robots, robot systems, and methods may interact with users. Data from a sensor may be received by a processor associated with a robot. The processor may determine a user input based on the data from the sensor. The processor may send the user input to a remote service via a communication device. The processor may receive command data from the remote service via the communication device. The processor may cause an expressive element to perform an action corresponding to the command data.
