Berti - which stands for Bristol Elumotion Robotic Torso 1 - can produce numerous human-like gestures as it speaks to create the impression of a conversation.
The robot has been jointly developed by Bristol Robotics Lab and robotic hardware developer Elumotion, after the former decided it wanted to get more involved with humanoid robotics.
Berti has been on display at London's Science Museum this week and silicon.com went along to meet him.
