Your Own Personal Shinatama

(I'm making this post for Loser since he is unable to connect to the forum.  Blame me for the silly Depeche Mode reference in the thread title, though.)

1.) Have you ever wanted a Shinnie? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EpO57Nlt … ted&fmt=18
P.S.: This is amazing - she (or it? uncanny valley ^_^) does not need cables (internal battery lasts about 20 mins) and looks quite human-like. And look - it can even move on its own (no wires, no RC, they just send commands like "walk 20 meters" or "turn 30° right")!

2.) This one is a project from another research group. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OLbfGZDu … ted&fmt=18
While it cannot move freely (needs to be supported) it has better facial expressions and gestures and holds the title of the first real drunk android on Earth ^_^.
P.S.: Have you ever imagined singing Tanker ^_^
