Bodi's Identity
Bodi is the Goodwill Ambassador of Eveready South Africa. He works to promote understanding and appreciation for the brand wherever he goes. This isn’t too difficult for him because he is absolutely fascinated by people and loves connecting with them, from the little ones right up to the top corporate folks – and everyone inbetween! However he doesn’t confine his goodwill work to Eveready functions only and works to spread his unique brand of cheer wherever it may be needed. Whether assisting charities or getting involved with corporate functions, he’s always up to something interesting!
Bodi's Technicalities
Bodi is an IRI3000 robot - a technologically advanced unit built by International Robotics in New York, USA. His construction incorporates complex interfacing between mechanical, electrical, computerized, audio and remote signal interpretation elements. Through the genius of the robotics engineers, all of these components are able to work together to give Bodi an animated, lifelike functionality. While he is a robot and his movements aren’t as complex as those of the intricacies of the human body, his attitude and sense of humour are as human as ever!
Bodi's History
Although Bodi arrived in South Africa recently, he is no newcomer to the fields of Entertainment or Techno Marketing!
