Norio is a special kind of robot that helps people who have difficulty moving around. You can control Norio from the ground floor and it can take you to explore places you might not be able to reach on your own, like the first floor of the château. Norio has a camera that shows your face on a screen, so it feels like you're right there exploring, even if you can't physically go upstairs.
