The INDIGO robot was developed in the framework of the project INDIGO - Interaction with Personality and Dialogue Enabled Robots, which is co-funded directly by the European Commission (6th Framework Programme, "Information Society Technologies"). The robot can function as a guide and interact with the visitors.

The robot is the result of a three-year research effort and dozens of researchers from many European organizations (universities, research foundations, companies) but also from an organization in the USA.
