I actually saw her (it?) while I was in Nagoya, at the 2005 Aichi Expo. It was pretty cool. They had a bunch of robotic exhibits that really blew me away (like the new security robot that picks up unknown objects, takes them speeding outside, and then makes them blow up inside. (It looked sort of like a cross between a Gundam and a Zamboni.) And several sophisticated cleaning robots were there too. They had a couple robotic suits too, exo-skeletons designed for people who couldn't use their legs. It was interesting, basically a scaffolding that bended using hoses filled with air as muscles.

When robots start building other robots, then you know we're all doomed.

Just pretend that you didn't see this (http://news.nationalgeographic.com/news/2005/05/0511_050511_robots.html) then.

That's one attractive synthetic humanoid.

Well, I'm pretty sure that was the main objective of this project. -.-

Did anyone see Ghost in the Shell and the sequel?
I wonder if things could turn out like that one day...

Q1 is very impressive. I wish i could see a video of those realistic subconcious movements that they talk about.
