Rise of the Humanoids
PC World has a feature on an upcoming exhibition named Robodex, where Humanoid Robots Strut Their Stuff. It discusses the use of humanoids for much more than entertainment, and how the field has progressed rapidly. The Daily Yomiuri is also featuring Robodex, in their article entitled "We, Robots". It lists the robots that can be found there, and details some of their features. Allusions to the holy-grail of robots is made, and expected by 2040... so sit tight, it may be a while! ZDNet has a bit more detail about the HRP-2P in particular, as the Humanoid Robot Goes to Work on Linux. |

Dino-matic
That big blue tricerotops robot must be the most surreal thing I've seen recently. I bet if Salvador Dali was still alive he would have one plodding around his studio. - Bob http://news.bbc.co.uk/hi/english/sci/tech/newsid_1898000/1898342.stm |

Dino-Crazy
The great thing about this robot is that it doesn't look like one... ok, it doesn't look real, but in a more plastic toy fashion. This is a good thing. |
