Japanese Robot on Diplomatic Tour

Posted by ryuzaki0 on Saturday August 23, 2003 @04:37AM from the strange-ambassadors dept.

baquiano writes "Inaugurating 21st century diplomacy, Japan's Pime Minister Junichiro Koizumi is visiting Prague this week, accompanied by Honda's experimental humanoid robot, Asimo. According to this story, Asimo even attended the official dinner. Apparently, the Czech Prime Minister Spidla has often been criticized because he's too 'stiff' and 'robot-like.'" Uncomfortable moments aside, it's a fitting tribute, for as stated in the story, the Czech writer Karel Capek was the first to use the term robot.

I find it comical that a post like this will be modded to informitive. The author just states something totally stupid and posts the text of the article.
