Takara's new TERA bots

Takara's on the cutesy robot tip at this year's Tokyo International Forum with new TERA line of bots (the "TERA" stands for "Takara Entertainment Robot Architecture"):

• The TERA SECURITY — This one's a security bot designed to keep an eye on things around the house, it can alert you if there's a break-in or a fire in your home.

• The TERA LIFE — Gotta love a lifestyle bot, this one has a breathalyzer, a body thermometer, and a body fat analyzer and can automatically contact your doctor or call emergency services if you're in need of immediate medical attention.

• TERA AV — Not sure why you'd want your DVD player or stereo that's able to wander off of its own accord, but the voice-controllable TERA AV can play DVDs and CDs that you pop into its mouth, and also has a built-in projector, a hard drive, and speakers.
