Nadine was created to be a doppelganger of Thalmann,
according to NTU's news release, which said the

The robot "can be happy or sad, depending on the
conversation" and she "also has a good memory" with the ability to recognize people she's met and remember what those people have said before, NTU said. The university added that "Nadine is powered by intelligent software similar to Apple’s Siri or Microsoft’s Cortana."
