Although I do not have a robot to offer, I have
long been working on a free artificial intelligence
for robots called MindForth, with a free tutorial
version called AiMind.html in JavaScript.
At the same time as you show whatever robot
you obtain, you could also show the AI Mind
program in artificial intelligence, at a school
or at a science museum, inviting everybody
to engage in conversation with the AI Mind,
and to discuss whether the AI really thinks.
