First Aibo, now this human- shaped robot. The Japanese are obsessed with robots. Their entertainment industry is filled with images of them, entire TV series are wrapped around them, and of course there's always Mechagodzilla. It doesn't surprise me they're leading in this field.

Any of our readers have an Aibo? Know anyone that does? What're your impressions? It may not be the cuddliest of things, but at least it doesn't yak on your carpet.
