How we rate our robots

Each robot is scored from 0 to 100 on five traits, based on its real specs. When in doubt we score low, never flattering.

  • Strength — Lifting capacity, payload and raw power — how heavy a load it can handle.
  • Dexterity — Fine motor skills: hands, manipulation precision and speed of movement.
  • Autonomy — How long and how independently it runs — battery life and self-direction.
  • Empathy — Social & emotional skills: voice, expressions and interaction with people.
  • IQ — On-board intelligence: perception, reasoning and ability to learn.

If it were human

“Like a miniature Jim Carrey living on your desk — endlessly expressive, impossible to ignore, and always ready to brighten your day.”

Eilik is a small desktop companion robot created by Energize Lab and sold for around 150 USD. Compact enough to sit beside a keyboard, it became a viral sensation on TikTok thanks to its surprisingly rich range of facial expressions and emotional reactions — happiness, boredom, irritation, excitement — all displayed through an animated screen face and tiny physical gestures.

Where Eilik genuinely shines is in moment-to-moment emotional responsiveness. Tap it, poke it, or leave it alone too long and it reacts accordingly — sulking, playing, or demanding attention. It can also interact with a second Eilik unit placed nearby, the two bots acknowledging each other and engaging in small shared behaviours, which doubles the charm considerably.

Eilik does not clean your house, lift boxes, or answer complex questions — and it makes no pretence of doing so. Its entire purpose is to keep you company during long work sessions, add a little life to an otherwise static desk, and occasionally make you smile at something completely unexpected. At the agency, we place Eilik with students, remote workers, and anyone who finds a silent desk just a little too silent.
