Sony's New Bi-Pedal Robot

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the give-me-robbie-the-robot dept.

I am especially amused by the photograph of synchronized dancing robots, and the fact that the new bot will cost as much as a luxury car! But it has some impressive stuff like facial recognition

    This was a part from the German ARD afternoon news. The video speaks for itself, even if you don't understand the German commentary.
