"But given Q1's reported glitch-related "spasms" at the expo, it may be a while before androids are escorting tour groups or looking after children..." Oooh, robot-spasms. Anyone have a video of that? :)

I thought Japan already had robots like this.

Boy, what I wouldn't give to take a tour of her uncanny valley!

Natalie's Eyes
Her eyes are extremely life like. They are designed to give you the feeling of sharing time with someone very special.

Ew.

Is it just me or does that guy look like the host of the original Iron Chef?

And why do I get the impression he's pretty damn fond of that robot?

Elsewhere: Breasts & buttocks. They are very lovely jiggly parts.

Uncanny valley, here we come.
