Your shares in a blowup doll factory are in trouble. ;D
I'm generally creeped out by anything in "uncanny valley" territory, and that robot certainly qualifies.

Meh. The only one who really has to worry is
Star, what with him being majority owner and all. :P
That is incredibly impressive! :o I had no idea they had made that robot autonomous... Think of the possibilities for dangerous environment work....
I dont see why this is a surprise from the land that invented the mech to begin with.

I was going the with the SkyNet universe not "I Robot".
I also just got done rewatching STTNG's "Datalore". That is a great good android/bad android story.

Data has so many daddy issues.
So did HAL9000 and, in a way, Skynet.
Although we all remember skynet and Hal, I try to remember the more hopeful robot characters, I.e Robot and Frank, Data, JohnnyFive, Huey duey and Louie from silent running.
Don't forget R. Daneel Olivaw.

I've been reading the Robot and Foundation novels for over fifteen years now. To this day, I can't decide if he's the most awesome, chess-master character of all time...or if he scares the holy, ever-loving crap out of me.
