I LOVE this!! Those of you who've read the Pluto manga will recognize the design of the hands -- and even the facial design of this bot -- be sure to run the video -- it's fabulous how human the subtle gestures are becoming.

Yeah -- just add those SPIKES!!! I think if I were friends with Astro, that would be my nickname for him -- Spikes.
But it's fascinating to read how the total AI "package" is made up of different logical components -- and they all work together to produce a human response. I'll bet our brains actually work in much the same way (via our senses).
I LOVE THE 21ST CENTURY!!

OMG! Your right! Tenma is yellow. Maybe whoever colored that icon didn't have the right color or something.
You're not a joke, you fit right in!
So shake it off, and give a grin. Don't be afraid to stand your ground! Crazy, noisy BIZARRE Town!

Octavia: the MDS robot
This gizmag article shows how a robot designed to work with the military needs to have not only its own body language, but be able to interpret human body language.
I just created a thread in the General area about this very thing. 
I did not see any tongue in its mouth, or lower eyelids for it to tug down, so how can it have human-like expressions w/out these?

Who tugs down their lower eyelids, anyway? Seems painful... You only see it in anime, though (and I saw it in a manga once), so I guess it's a Japanese thing. Those guys are so strange. Wonderful, but strange.
Anyways, too bad I can't watch that video on this computer. I didn't know it was supposed to be a she, though.
