Ok. So it seems like you are envisioning a portrait mounted flatscreen  
monitor on motorized wheels with cameras, microphones, and an Internet  
connection? With a robotic arm for physical assistance? Am I close?  
The robot arm would require a wider wheel base, but it would be doable.

The software idea is interesting. We could use real people as models.  
Motion capture a wide range of gestures/ facial expressions, if they  
have a pleasant voice, we could hire them for that too.

SR Ballard also has a point. We can render the motion capture as a  
wire frame and re-skin however we want. If a customer wants to pay  
extra to have a famous companion, then we could license proprietary  
characters and skin their companions as such.
