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....

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.
