Japanese Digital Minister Taro Kono, right, poses with his avatar robot created
by a research team led by Osaka University Professor Hiroshi Ishiguro. The
175-centimeter-tall robot has 52 movable parts, including those in its face,
arms and lower back. Kono joked that he wouldn't mind if the robot attended a
Diet session.

It would really help avoid boring meetings. Can it drink beer and say kanpai?
I’d be surprised if the orders for these things didn’t start rolling in...

Fritz Lang warned about the future in one of the first science fiction epics
Metropolis. Scary depiction of a future that looking more like reality as the

That is the Kono grimace, a cross between a smirk and and smile, it take years
of practice to perfect.

52 moving parts, 49 dedicated to duplicate that irritating facial leer.

Does the one on the left look smarter and more human than the one on the right?

I notice that the robot has more grey hair... it’s hard being a bot, never
knowing where your next can of oil is coming from.
