The robot, capable of speaking Lithuanian and engaging in basic conversation, not only offered greetings and flowers but also presented the new "Dyson Supersonic Nural" hairdryer in "Apricot" color. Its presence created a technological spectacle that captivated both children and adults, prompting curiosity and a sense of wonder.

It was important for us not only to show the latest technology of our time in a rather unexpected Mother's Day context but to evoke emotion. When you see how people stop, smile, or even get confused โ€“ you understand that it works.

While some Lithuanians readily engage with such advanced technology, others may feel a degree of surprise or hesitation. The "d.one" team, led by Domantas ลฝiฤkus, strategically chose a humanoid form to make the technology more approachable, fostering a temporary connection that goes beyond a simple screen or device. This experience highlights the rapid advancements in robotics, particularly in environmental awareness and human interaction.

A humanoid allows us to create a short-term connection. It's not just a screen or a device โ€“ it's an experience. It's easier for people to interact with technology that has human-like features and can hold a conversation.

From the perspective of "d.one," this event was not just about showcasing a product but about creating an emotional experience. By observing people's reactionsโ€”smiles, surprise, or even slight confusionโ€”they gauged the impact of introducing cutting-edge technology into everyday contexts. This aligns with "d.one's" broader vision of allowing people to witness firsthand how technology is transforming lives, offering a glimpse into the future right here in Kaunas.

Our goal is not only to show the product but to create an experience. We want people to see for themselves how technology changes life.
