You're farked! Look at your url referrer logs and you'll find deep links to Boing-boing and Fark.

Those pix are made on sleaze/cheese-ball PhotoIsland.com using their online tools for pseudo-PhotoShop trim/crop/sleeze. Th 'play' bar looks off-center 'cause I squeezed the middle of the shot to make Asimo look more pervy. Sorry.

(Kyodo Press-Aug 21) PRAGUE, Czech Republic- Japanese Prime Minister Junichiro Koizumi and Japan-made humanoid robot ASIMO raise their glasses at a dinner party hosted by ...

Robot attends Czech state dinner
BBC / Thursday, 21 August, 2003, 20:22 GMT 21:22 UK

...Asimo walked into the dining room at the city's Hrzansky Palace and shook hands with the two leaders.

The robot then said in Czech: "I have arrived in the Czech Republic, where the word robot was born, together with Prime Minister Koizumi as a Japanese envoy of goodwill."

Asimo, the world's most advanced humanoid robot - can also speak Japanese as well as being able to walk upstairs and recognise voices.

can asimo learn? I mean does it learn new things or is it all in the programming?

"I'm sorry Junichiro, I'm afraid I can't do that..."

:rofl::rofl::rofl:

But can Asimo do The Macarena or The Bus Stop, like these guys

These are the Sony SDR-4X - or should that be SDR-XXXX - maybe they can meet Junichiro's needs ...

Thanks, I checked it out - brilliant clip. I'm heading home to go a few rounds with my own DV software now.

That CEATEClooks great, but I suspect I won't be in Japan that early in October.

Cheers.

Robot shows up stiff Czech PM
22 AUG 2003
PRAGUE (Reuters) - A robot with impeccable manners has charmed guests at a state dinner with his wisecracks and dancing, outshining Czech Prime Minister Vladimir Spidla and showing up his often-mocked social stiffness. ...
Asimo began working the crowd as soon as he arrived at the dinner late on Thursday, telling jokes, greeting Spidla warmly, and even making a champagne toast before wisecracking that he couldn't drink himself because he is underage.
...

Spidla smiled at the robot but seemed at a loss for witty conversation.
He turned down Asimo's request for a dance saying only:

"I like science and various technically advanced things."

Not sure about the actual 'learning' thing. But Asimo can be programmed to do certain things. What I witnessed wasn't all that impressive, in the Hal sense]http://www.TokyoDV.com/news/Robodex2003Montage.html[/url]

GJ Dude..!!! I didn't know TDV got featured on WIRED too..!! Sweeeet.. That day was really a great shoot..

No shit! All that was missing was a frosty one... Yeah. April, May, and June were huge traffic months for TDV... Still, actually. The SDR clips are more popular than the Asimo ones though..

[Big Booger]

I think one day that asimo robot, will be able to process data it receives via senors and make decisions based on that information..

I doubt though in my lifetime a robot will be able to learn... to cope with situations where it's programming hasn't been figured out yet.

All the while I am thinking Android Commander Data from ST.

Asimo gets a girlfriend

Who's the lucky chick? Or is that chip?

Japan to create robot with a child's abilities
Cnet Asia, Asia - Aug 26
Japanese researchers are pressing the government to invest in an ambitious robot development scheme, with the aim of creating a machine with the artificial intelligence (AI) of a human child....The quest, which has been named the Atom Project, will span 30 years, and will require almost half a billion U.S. dollars annually from the government.
Researchers proposing the project believe that the Atom Project--inspired by late cartoonist Osamu Tezuka's popular robot animation series "Tetsuwan Atom", also known as Astro Boy overseas--will help promote scientific and technological advances in Japan, following the footsteps of the 1960's Apollo Project...

[Taro Toporific]

Half a billion U.S. dollars per year, for THIRTY (30) years! HOLY SHINTO!!!!! Now THAT is some serious cash. I wonder why they are doing this.........

Ahhhh, Lord Pongi... They are doing this for the same reason MITI did their highly successful "Fifth Generation Project" whose goal to provide us by 1991 with machine translation of Japanese and thinking computers that we now use everyday in our Flying Cars.

I don't think they allow double entry at the Cow Marmalade.. Actually, I haven't submitted anything.. I'm sure the classic Fertility Festival clip would cause a stir..
