I used a similar, stationary breadbox size table top robot type, while at Semiconductor Trade Shows long ago. Actually pretty dumb, until we added googly eyes and some “robot type” makeup on its “head” and “jaws”, much to the chagrin of the Japanese manufacturing reps.
I would program robot to do the “things” as advertised, pick and place IC’s into trays, 360deg maneuvers with a Si wafer in its jaws, and multi axis rotations and so on.
It really drew attention though, when programmed to hang its head nod slightly and mope back and forth, until a lovely walked by. Then robot would come alive rise up to its full two foot height and shudder, tracking the lovely as she walked towards our booth, google eyes buzzing, then at close to mid point of her walk by, robot would drop its head and knock like a wood pecker on the table top, if she stopped to look the next routine was a “come here” wave, and the next routine, if she registered and paused, was for robot to turn and reach over to a bowl of Hershey kisses, pick a kiss and turn to her with slight shivering offering her a Hershey kiss. If she received the kiss, robot routine would then pick up a business card and extend it to her, or place it back in the card holder tray.
The sales guys remained silent, until …. and then love it.

We had more fun with that small robot and the routines we could program, and execute remotely with a controller button press on the fly. Later, my routines “cheater list” was well appreciated by the manufacturing reps, and led me to do similar “Trade Shows”, as well as many after hours brainstorming / dining and fun drinking sessions.
Oh, if a fellow approached, robot would offer him a piece of Black Jack type chewing gum.

I considered syncing a routine with a “dance and music” routine, but never finished it, had to get a life and pay check.
