He's definitely getting a lot of press and coverage. Now if they can make one with synthetic muscles, it would be even more impressive. Get rid of all those motors....:D

In the UK we used to have a TV show called 'Jackanory' where actors used to read books...

It'd be so cool if they had Qrio reading Asimov novels... ;) :)

Wow, that robot is impressive. What I really want to know is when they will be able to make real life robots that equal their Anime counterparts.

Say something along the lines of Chobits. :)

If Qrio could be made affordably, it would be a great thing to assist patients in their home such as paraplegics and quadraplegics. Also the elderly, blind, and strokes.
