Shimi實(shí)際上是一個擴(kuò)充基座，它的大腦由安卓手機(jī)控制。一旦連接上，機(jī)器人便從用戶的移動裝置獲得傳感和音樂生成能力。換言之，只要有應(yīng)用程序，機(jī)器人便能使用。例如，通過手機(jī)的照相機(jī)和辨認(rèn)臉型的軟件，Shimi就能在房間周圍跟蹤到聽眾，然后安置好它的耳朵或揚(yáng)聲器，以確保輸送最佳聲音。另外一種識別特征是基于節(jié)奏和速度。如果用戶打出某個（音樂）拍子，Shimi會對此進(jìn)行分析，然后瀏覽手機(jī)的音樂庫，并立即演奏最符合要求的音樂。一旦音樂響起來，Shimi就隨韻律起舞。 Many people think that robots a
