Faking Personal Humanoids

Discover.com has posted a story about a project at CMU, which is blending animatronics and robotics --
Future Tech: Faking Intelligence. The result is an old professor, that seems very friendly and realistic. All is achieved by placing the emphasis on performance, in which case intelligence doesn't need to be too great! Simple speech recognition and behaviour based robotics seem to do the trick quite nicely.

The Nando Times reports of robots that would certainly satisfy my needs (most of them at least :) It can shunt across the apartment and fetch beers for you, and not get into endless arguments... what more do you want! Personal Robot of the Future Here Today

Finally, Nation Multimedia discusses the results of a decade of work trying to bring robots to life; Thai Humanoid Being Built. The lower part of the bot has been built, and it seems the hardest part of the road is ahead. Then it might be able to fetch beers too!
