Any robot nerds out there?

Darkside · Jan 10, 2005

I have a copy of the "Can you keep a secret?" video by Utada Hikaru (a jpop artist), and there is a rather human-sized robot in it with a bizarre pointy nose. I thought that it was made for the video, but I recently found out that he is a real robot. I saw a small clip of it on a PBS show called "Scientific American", with Alan Alda as the host. I didn't quite catch what they said about the maker of it, so I don't even know where to start. Anybody know where to go from here? Better yet, has anyone seen the video, or know what I'm talking about?

Yeah, me, too. Its just too bad that Honda is not selling them to people. I would give my right arm for one of them. However, you can own the next closest thing. Just go to ebay and type in "ASIMO" and you will find tons of models to put together that range from the old models P1 - P3, and right into the current ASIMO look. Happy hunting.
