Erster Roboter Laden in Japan eröffnet - Apocalypse please

Zitat

Mark the month of October 2006 in your calendar of the apocalypse folks. Some bright-spark in Japan thought it'd be just swell to bring 1,000 of the world's robots together under the guise of the world's first robot store and museum. Of course, our enlightened readership already understands the inherent dangers of bringing these soulless, self-replicating hominoids capable of postulating on our war mongering ways under a common roof. Alone in the wee after-store hours, it's just a matter of time until the more adept of the lot stumbles upon the proper wiring sequence for consciousness. Oh Andrew McCarthy, only your mysterious powers can save us from the grey goo now!

The main product will be the two-legged walking robot Nuvo, designed by a robot manufacturer in Tokyo for home use. The 35-cenimeter-tall robot, which can be operated through remote controllers and cell phones and can be made to dance, is also able to recognize human voices and respond.
At 588,000 yen, the robot is not cheap, but store operators hope to attract buyers by targeting it at men in their 40s and others who grew up watching anime that featured robots.
