Repliee Q1expo

Repliee Q1expo is just one more step on the way to human extinction at the metallic hands of our cybernetic progeny. And by "our" progeny I mean the progeny of the Japan Robot Association. Like this Honda monster is designed to do anything except stomp on human skulls. Seriously.

Professor Hiroshi Ishiguro of Osaka University stands beside Repliee Q1expo during the Prototype Robot Exhibition at Aichi World Expo in Nagakute, central Japan, Thursday, June 9, 2005. This humanoid robot, that is covered in a skin-like substance and moves its mouth and shifts its torso as though it's breathing, sits in booths to work as a tour guide for visitors at the expo.
