Sony unveils new SDR-4X robot.

This really connects with the joke at Megatokyo that Sony will produce an android.

<Id> · March 20th, 2002

Jeez that thing is expensive. I would like to have it though. It's quite cool. Or so it seems. Hope the price lowers to about 300 US

Sanyo, Matsu****a unveil security, cleaning robots

Tuesday, March 26, 2002 at 09:30 JST
OSAKA — Matsu****a Electric Industrial Co and Sanyo Electric Co separately unveiled prototype security and cleaning robots on Monday.

Sanyo introduced a prototype quadruped robot guard to maintain security at homes and offices at night, while Matsu****a unveiled a prototype robot to clean rooms.

Jointly developed with venture business Tmsuk Inc, Sanyo's robot has a built-in sound sensor enabling users to control its moves via mobile phone, the company said.

The robot also has a built-in camera to capture images of its surroundings.

The "Type 1" model is 75 centimeters long and weighs 40 kilograms. The Type 2 is 1 meter long and weighs 35 kg. The Type 2 can also climb a step about 10 cm high.

Sanyo plans to put the new robot on the market in fiscal 2003 at prices expected to be in a range from 500,000 to 1 million yen.

Matsu****a's robot cleans rooms while avoiding furniture and other barriers.

Matsu****a will begin tests on the box-shaped robot, which weighs 9.8 kg, at homes in May so as to introduce a practical model in a few years for about 500,000 yen.

I want a cleaning robot.

What like Mahoromatic?
An android like that would be truly sweet. It is interesting to see the progress they are making tho.

Exodus · March 26th, 2002

i can see it now. sony sells the robots, and the robots go out shopping for a whole bunch of Sony products when you're not home because they've been secretly programmed to. Sony's smart.
