The plans depict the robot as a kind of R2D2 figure, a large rounded object on wheels that works with a PlayStation Eye camera.
If you like your fitness feedback blunt and to-the-point, the robot could be up your street. If you're in need of more emotional support, you'd be unlikely to find it here.
