She’s a brightly-colored metal talking info source on wheels with an animated face resembling a Shirley Temple doll. She scoots around Seattle-Tacoma Airport in Washington state. The cute robot doesn’t sing On The Good Ship Lollypop, but gives current airport and flight data to arriving passengers.
