Celebrities and star athletes who attended ESPN's Super Bowl XLI festivities were greeted on the red carpet by a one-of-a-kind face: Quasi, the interactive animatronic robot designed by students at Carnegie Mellon's Entertainment Technology Center (ETC).

The first robot created through Carnegie Mellon's Interbots Initiative, Quasi typically resides at the ETC, where he talks with people, entertains them, and offers directions.

Lately, however, his popularity has been keeping him on the road with this and other appearances, including "Good Morning America" and “Live with Regis and Kelly.”
