Introducing the most advanced and most accurate human looking robot to date. I think we're close to seeing an Astro Boy model!

That is if the whole world doesn't go into insolvency.

This will certainly lead to controversy, because if they can make such a robot, they will want to limit robots' access to public places and hence, targets for terrorists.

The start of real-life robot laws! Speaking of humanoid robots, I wonder what's happened to Aiko?

Looks like the world is in a race to build the first absolute humaniod android. This is so exciting!

[cybotron]

Yes yes...
And what kind could we build?

Doesn't look any more lifelike than the old Repliee Q1 model. I'll be impressed when they can get one to walk. Or stand on it's own. Is that a metal pole they have it attached to? It seems all the good balancing robots never look human.

Also, the references to Tsukuba University and Cyberdyne in the article are a completely different project. It's a prototype robot suit.

There's nothing to indicate either of these are going to be made "on a mass scale on Friday".

I thought you said "A-KO" This seems to be a really advanced android.
