Ok, ok, only the head can actually be considered robotic with 14 servo motors used to create realistic panda expressions like confusion: "has anyone seen my bamboo?" or anger: "I am not a teddy bear!" The rest is just some guy in a fancy monkey suit drunk on Billy Beer.

Chinese researchers develop "personal robot"

We somehow doubt that Liangliang, the new "personal robot" developed by researchers at the Chinese Academy of Sciences, working with a team from Xinsong Automation Co., has nearly as much personality as Korea's latest bot, EveR-1 -- though we suspect it does look a little better than CASIA (pictured), an earlier CAS attempt at developing a personal bot. However, with the ability to walk, log onto the internet and receive instructions via SMS, Liangliang could find a place as the Party's eyes and ears in Chinese homes.
