CUTEST ROBOT EVER
Look what I found. It's kinda old news (from 2006/2007), but yeah. Thought I'd share.
Except for the fact that it's SO CLOSE to the uncanny valley. *shudders*
Developed by Japanese robot researchers (WHO ELSE, WHO ARE WE KIDDING), it has the intelligence of a 1-2 year old baby, looks squishy and soft to touch, has HUGE EYES and no hair. THERE ARE TWITCHING FACIAL MUSCLES. I TELL YOU.
And if you don't believe me, watch this video, which is in Japanese, but you get some rather interesting views of the robot baby. Or read this Daily Mail article.
Also, University of Tsukuba developed this baby robot of sorts to encourage people to, well, breed. Kinda. This one's in German, though.
Um, yeah. Robots are fun, unless they're creepy. |D
