We're actually talking about the robot cat, not the human. :D

RT Corporation's new humanoid robot platform, the RIC (robot in costume), is quite tall and capable of fairly realistic movements. Unlike other robots the same size, the RIC robot is gentle enough to give people a hug without having to worry about any potential damage, to the robot and to the human being also.
