Description

›FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a…

FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a dispenser robot with animated facial expressions having no lighted portions;

FIG. 2 is a right view thereof;

FIG. 3 is a left view thereof;

FIG. 4 is a front view thereof;

FIG. 5 is a rear view thereof;

FIG. 6 is a top view thereof;

FIG. 7 is a bottom view thereof;

FIG. 8 is the first image in a sequence for a dispenser robot with animated facial expressions;

FIG. 9 is a second image thereof;

FIG. 10 is a third image thereof;

FIG. 11 is a fourth image thereof;

FIG. 12 is a fifth image thereof;

FIG. 13 is the first image in a second sequence for a dispenser robot with animated facial expressions;

FIG. 14 is a second image thereof;

FIG. 15 is a third image thereof;

FIG. 16 is a fourth image thereof;

FIG. 17 is the first image in a third sequence for a dispenser robot with animated facial expressions;

FIG. 18 a second view thereof;

FIG. 19 is the first image in a fourth sequence for a dispenser robot with animated facial expressions;

FIG. 20 is a second view thereof;

FIG. 21 is a third view thereof;

FIG. 22 is a fourth view thereof;

FIG. 23 is a fifth view thereof;

FIG. 24 is a sixth view thereof;

FIG. 25 is a seventh view thereof;

FIG. 26 is an eighth view thereof;

FIG. 27 is a ninth view thereof; and,

FIG. 28 is a tenth view thereof.

The hatched areas of FIGS. 9-12, 14-16, 18, and 20-28 show lighted portions of the circular channel that indicate the robot's facial expressions.

The appearance of the facial expression sequentially transitions between the images shown in FIGS. 8-12, 13-16, 17-18, and 19-28 . The process or period in which one image transitions to another forms no part of the claimed design.

The even-length broken lines showing the remainder of the dispenser robot with animated facial expressions are for environmental purposes only and form no part of the claimed design.
