Japanese engineers have built this baby robot that can roll around, speak a few baby sounds and even walk if encouraged to. The baby robot can react to touch. It will also try and play with a toy if you give them one. Engineers are also hoping to write software to have this robot walk and talk like a 3-year-old.


This is freaky me out big time! Has anyone seen this? or posted this yet?

That isnt disturbing or anything...:D

The last 2 seconds second nearly made me laugh.
 
Great a baby you CAN kick into the corner to get it to shut up...

I have nothing against kids. really.

What exactly is the point of a giant baby robot?
