Somebody make them stop.
Company presents a boyish robot
At 17 inches tall and 6 pounds, the artificial Zeno is the culmination of five years of work by Hanson and a small group of engineers, designers and programmers at his company, Hanson Robotics. They believe there's an emerging business in the design and sale of lifelike robotic companions, or social robots. And they'll be showing off the robot boy to students in grades 3-12 at the Wired NextFest technology conference Thursday in Los Angeles.
OMG, they will sell them for $200 to $300. I hear idiots paid $600 for a damn phone. These creepy things will be everywhere.
