    Japan knows all too well what would happen if they sold a battlemech to anyone but us. We’ll step aside and let North Korea go wild on its ass.

    Wouldn`t it be easier to have the music of the violin , on a mp3 player … and just play it .

    Sound is to perfect to be as good as human playing. Error make music becoming human, become felling.

    wow, someday obama will kick himself for his wanted “buy american only” rule…. Japanese are so far beyond the west ~technologically speaking. i sure hope they don’t sell a military robot to some angry country, or were hooped.

    It’s actually spelled poignant.

    anyone else think that the in car robot looks a little like a primitive version of R2D2?

  19.  Ryantravisaol says: |

    i agree with your opinion on the robot in the car but i personally wouldn’t buy a car that had it setup like that. If it were to become a standard feature one day i would opt for a model car that didn’t have a robot in a physical form, rather just a speaking voice. Like the car KIt from the 80’s TV show, Nightrider. lol

    Your arguements would be so much more poynette if you took the time to actually spell out your words and make complete sentences.

    we are all going to get fat wen this cool chairs come out just like the movie wall-e

    I agree with you.
    Actually I woudn’t like it if humans gave the robots tasks as playing a police officer or any other human resqueing tasks. Those should be left for humans.

    I like especially the idea of the robot in the car. I belief it really will increase the safety on the road. That robot acts like a child and most people woudn’t do anything dangerous if there was a child in their car.
    I just love this idea!

  24.  FHomeBrew says: |

    I agree with the philosophy that robots should first cope with basic human skills and dexterity like for instance, playing an instrument or moving around, before doing something involving relief of complex and dangerous human tasks.
