Toyota has it's own robot, but it it's only a pair of legs. May be it can't do your homework but it can carry you from home to school.

You can try to make your own walker your self in two easy steps 1 2.

I'd actually just started folding a crane while absent-mindedly hitting refresh on slashdot.
It has to be the first origami I've done in a month, and I was thinking of looking up some new things to attempt.
Of course, my favourite is still Yoda (Instructions, pdf).

I've always liked the idea of using origami for spacecraft. I can also envision universal constructor machines that convert asteroid materials into flat sheet and robotic systems that then fold long pieces of flat sheet stock into any shape that's needed (such as full size versions of these Star Wars spacecraft).
