Having spent some time on Friday at an exhibition watching a detailed demonstration of the very latest Sony AIBO, and wanting one.......wouldn't one of these Sony QRIOs be cool also.
Tokyo Japan, December 18th, 2003 - Sony Corporation today announced the development of dramatically enhanced motion of Sony's humanoid robot, enabling integrated motion control for walking, jumping and running. By applying this technology to QRIO, which is one of Sony's technology platforms, Sony has successfully created the world's first* running humanoid robot.
Sony QRIO
Click on QRIO's Story, then one of the four storys you are given, for a demonstration.

I dont think it'd be very affordable.
I'd like to know what it's worth, actually.

I assume that's a human looking robot (I can't find a Link to those stories you mentioned) but didn't Honda have a robot out like that that could vaccuum and stuff years ago?

Having seen the latest AIBO in a 20 minute Sony presentation, I'm well impressed with the technology. Get QRIO a lead, and he could walk AIBO, to exercise him!

1399 bucks. Not all in one go though, an interest free credit deal. I couldn't afford to buy one outright.

Now that I've had plenty of time to consider it, and have talked about it with friends, I've changed my mind on getting this. Although they are cool, I could buy something more worthwhile for that kind of money.
Cute though, eh? :)
