    Abstract: The present invention relates to a robot (1) configured to exhibit a robot identity and/or a robot personality at least partly through execution of computer-readable program code. The robot comprises a robot head (3) configured for connection to a face part (9; 9A, 9B) including a display surface, the robot being configured to cause the display of a face image depicting a face of said robot on said display surface. The robot head (3) is configured for detachable connection to said face part to allow detachable connection of different face parts (9; 9A, 9B) to the robot head, and the robot (1) is configured to automatically adapt said robot identity and/or said robot personality based on the face part currently being connected to the robot head (3). This allows a user of the robot to change character of the robot, i.e. to change the robot identity and/or personality, by connection of different face parts to the robot head.
