You would think they would have given it at least the capability of an iPhone... Or maybe they could buy it an iPhone and teach it to use it... :hmm:
 
What a letdown! I read "huminoid robot" and was like "kick ass" at first and then I saw it and bleh, I think my daughter had something similar in size that plugged into her ipod and sang and danced when music was played.
 
They should try to give it cleaning functionality too, like a vacuum pack... Or have it be responsible for managing a space roomba. :hmm:

The endeavour is a joint project between advertising company Dentsu, auto giant Toyota and robot creator Tomotaka Takahashi at the University of Tokyo's Research Centre for Advanced Science and Technology.
Hah, Dentsu, they have their dirty hands in everything.
 
The Apollo launches and F-1 engine tests bring tears to my eyes. Where are we 50 years later? Fucking spinning rims and facebook and a welfare population too dumb to tie their own shoes let alone build rockets.

Sigh.
