I saw this on the news the other day and it just shoked me to see a robot so human like. Again Sony shockes the world with new technology. This robot could walk, run, jump, kick a ball, walk up stairs, dance, and even talk and ask questions. I can't belive this. Here is a link url to a website where you can see the robot!!

Not a bad little robot. I don't see what the point of having one would be though. Lol then again, maybe it could help me with homework. I would like to see it in action but the videos have a .ram extension. It would be a lot coold when it is hooked up to the wireless internet. I wonder how much they would cost. I bet they are way to expensive. I guess we'll have to see.

Well i guess you are right because it doesn't have much of a point but I think in the near future it will play a big role in our lives. When I was a kid or even 5 years ago a robot like this would of been science-fiction but now it reality. I guess its almost scary to think that the world of tommorow will be like "I Robot".

Way cool! Good find!! Those little robots are awesome. They also have some .wmv videos on the side (I dont have real player). You have to see the video where they are all dancing together.

Looks like a minature version of Honda's ASIMO or robosapien. Sony already has a pretty neat robot dog but it's quite expensive. If these things ever came down in price it would make for an awesome gadget.

One could buy a dog for fifty bucks that would out-do this thing, would last a lot longer, and would be much more dynamic. However, there's a certain zing of technology and robots that makes people buy these kinds of things (the picture with the robot sitting in an airplane seat certainly looks impressive and intelligent, although I'm sure that the looks are a bit misleading). These are no A.I. Artificial Inelligence teddy bear equivalant; they're hardly suited to be a friend. Until a robot is able to truely interact and perhaps show compassion, I certainly won't be buying one.

Quite amazing of what people are creating , our technology is growing and fast . Soon these robots could be just like all the fiction movies you see today , although this might create problems but there is always pros / cons.

[poor joke
]Oh my God, it's the start of the end for humans. Can't you see soon these things will be bigger, stronger and smarter than us. They will sit on top of the food chain turning us into slaves and sources of energy (The Matrix style). Quick we must stop Sony before they progress any further. All robots must be destroyed.

Yes I agree that there will be pro/cons but listen to this. When Tomas Edison created electivity everyone thought it will be the best thing because suddenly there were light bulbs and things that were ran manually were now being run by electricity. But when people found out that electricity can easily kill some one people stared ripping out their electric wires and didn’t want anything to do with it. For a while the future of electricity seemed that it would not exist but look at today without electricity we wouldn't be anywhere.
