Have you seen QRIO? Sony's robot? He's cool too, better made, quieter when he walks, better sight recognition and he remmebers stuff, your voice and what stuff you like. It'a amazing, but he's only about a foot tall.
The Asimo video's are cool, the way he sees and he talks, he's got the cutest little voice. I want one!!!
Well they take all major credit cards.. he's only about $500million US.
Asimo does a bunch of the stuff you mentioned the sony one does too like voice & face recognition and such. From the descriptions in the article, it sounds like Asimo is better at running too. My skin began to crawl thinking about seeing these things walking around on the streets unattended though as seen in the film I, Robot.
Yeah, you can buy those little ones in stores here. I don't think they do much besides walk and don't bump into things though. Not sure, I've never really looked.
