Baby robot that can walk, talk and feel
the Daily Mail: "Covered in a grey putty-like silicone skin the baby bot can roll around and 'speak'. It can even take a few steps if encouraged enough.
Built by Japanese scientists Minoru Asada and Hiroshi Ishiguro (who famously created an android twins of himself), the robot called CB2 weighs 33kg and stands 130cm tall.
It has 197 tactile sensors embedded in its outer layer and 51 compressed air-powered actuators, which allow it to react to touch."

Amazing Yet Freakish
This little robot story, linked on Drudge and in the Daily Mail is quite an achievement in science without a doubt, but to me watching this thing move and make noises like a baby is almost scary in as I indicated a freakish kind of way.
The urge to save humanity is always a false front for the urge to rule it. H. L. Mencken
