Humanoid Robot HR-2
Denix writes "The HR-2 humanoid robot was constructed during a period of three months at Chalmers University in Sweden.
It has 22 degrees of freedom which enables it to easily move around imitating human motions. The robot is also equipped with stereovision giving it possibilities to perform hand-eye coordination. For that task an artificial neural network is evolved. Furthermore, the artificial brain is capable of tracking faces as well as recognising them. The HR-2 is also able to speak.
The website also contains a movie (35.5 MB) of the HR-2 in action."
Can it run Linux?
"It has 22 degrees of freedom" Yes, but if the Republican controlled Senate passes the legislation it wants, they'll be able to cut it down to just nine degrees of freedom. Take that, you godless humanoid robot !!"
StupidChildren...the reason jesus is crying
Sorry I gotta

SKINNNER!!!!
Awww...the thing is so freakin' cute!
Of course, if it was 6ft tall, I'd be saying something along the lines of, "I for one welcome our new robot overlords..."
What happened to HR-1? ...plot, "nice shoes", ...
I'm sorry, my responses are limited. You must ask me the right questions.
Is HR-1 standing right behind me with a sledgehammer, awaiting your orders to kill me?
Ah. Now you are asking the right questions!
We recently had heard in the office over one of the Yellow Machine that's made by Anthology Solutions.
I read your article about a humanoid robot with interest. I am eagerly downloading your movie now.
Please advise where I can purchase this excellent device. I am seeking a model which is at least 2.5 metres tall. If you have a submachine-gun attachment, that will be even better. Please send details of options and available colours.
Doesn't look like it has the weight distribution to fetch me a beer.
I, for one, welcome our new European chick overlords.
Geez. What ROBOT is cute?? What about the woman in the video! SHE'S cute! Get your act together.
The next comment I write will be ready soon, but subscribers can beat the rush and see it early!
Gotta love first posts that somehow get moderated "Redundant"...
Game! - Where the stick is mightier than the sword!
As long as HR doesn't mean Human Resources. As if the current HR isn't bad enough.
i'm gonna be on a 10 day pre-deployment field op, so shoot me an email when you find the answer so I can read up on that when I get back. thx
Human imitates Robot.
You obviously aren't asian.

In this picture the robot is clearly taking a dump.
Absolutely not. I concur with your perception of hotness.
I'd imitate her anytime.
You can hold down the "B" button for continuous firing.
How did they build that giant hand??
Robot...beer....robot....beer....robot....beer.
*thinking*
Hmm, how about we combine the two. How about..."ROBOBEER". Ya, I can see the future now. Just attach some walking legs to each can of beer. Then, sell a master ROBOBEER remote control for mucho grande!
Question: When I start seeing six beer cans walking toward me, how do I know if I'm drunk, high, or perfectly sane? Hmmmmm
Life is not for the lazy.
I want humanoid servant bot to look something like this:

All we need now is a mini-Sarah Connor to battle it.
Don't miss the next episode here on Slashdot: Read the gruesome story of HR-1, HR-2's evil twin, and their inventor's terrible fate.
I don't need a signature.
No. She is. and Yes, to be a true /. person you should have made a poor pun about downloading her.
Hang on, isn't that just an intern?
*ducks*
Visit o' meter Hope your research goes well in the future as well.
They aren't all ready for prime time, though.
My brother-in-law did an internship at Honda, and they had a semi-humanoid robot running around the building that could run some basic errands and such. Like this one, it had voice and face recognition programs--unfortunately, it didn't recognize my brother-in-law's face, perhaps because it was programmed to recognize japanese/asian faces. It didn't recognize him as a person and wouldn't do anything for him.
Be a PATRIOT--because the only thing we have to fear is the lack thereof.
