FLASH (Flexible Lirec Autonomous Social Helper) is a social robot consisting of a two-wheeled balancing mobile platform, a body with two arms ended with four-fingered hands and an EMYS (EMotive headY System) expressive head. Such a robot design allows it to be classified into MDS (Mobile Dextrous Social) robots. FLASH is used as a platform integrating various technologies in the field of robotics, at the same time allowing their experimental verification during robot-human interaction.
