Researchers at Osaka University have developed the CB-2 which moves, responds, and even feels like a small child between the ages of 1 and 2. Approximately 130 cm long (~51-inches) and weighing about 33 kg (~ 73 lbs.,), it moves by pneumatics in 56 areas, has 197 tactual sensors, and a skin made of silicone. Eventually they are hoping to teach the bot the ability to walk and talk. We found this demo of it that we must admit slightly creeped us out. Remember The Dancing Baby?
