    Obviously another product from "those people that think a giant moth can save the world".

    Do have anything in the way of the the coolest NON-humanoid robot? I am a beginning to get bored with these tin men -- though it makes neat sounds when it moves.

    Nice evolution of their other robots standing in the background, but Newbot is not a turnkey solution. Each demo is carefully controlled, with several humans hiding behind curtains waiting to run out if & when something goes wrong. Asimo is still way ahead of this guy and remember his silly stair-climbing incident: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ASoCJTYgYB0

    No need to be scared just yet. When the robots start revolting, simply go upstairs and "taunt them a second time".

    I agree. I guess I should have said coolest LOOKING humanoid robot, not the most USEFUL robot, or the coolest robot overall(which would have functionality & autonomy). I think this one is more sleek with no cumbersome backpack. Right now I'm a wheeled robot guy...just makes sense. I'll take a pic of my last one when i get a sec. He's a real hodge podge of used ebay parts.
