Robots will always be in the hearts and minds of the Japanese. They love them and one day the entire nation will probably be replaced with them. Today they are one step closer to that goal with ROPID.

Able to run, jump, take voice commands, move his mouth when talking, and remind everyone of an early prototype for Astro Boy this little robot will probably be the Teddy Ruxpin of a new generation.

At least until it gets reprogrammed for evil.
