Madeline Gannon has a pretty clear discourse about the goal of her research and although she tends to blur the boundary between humans and robots, she clearly keeps them in the realm of objects.
Unfortunately, the same can not be said about the description under the video. Clearly Pier 9 is making it sound ridiculous by anthropomorphizing Mimus.
Mimus is a giant industrial robot that’s curious about the world around her. Mimus sees the world differently than us – she uses sensors embedded in the ceiling above to see everyone around her simultaneously. Mimus can react and move quickly around her space to follow your actions and try to decipher your body language.
