It kinda looks as though it is looking for a visual cue from the person if the job is done correctly or not..."She isn't speaking, so I should press this too..." The same kinda thing that some "counting horse" or other animal acts have used. And if it is, then it's acutally more creepy, because instead of following basic instructions it's trying to please the user by acting that it knows what it is doing rather than actually knowing what do to. I'm ordering a grenade launcher and an EMP tomorrow.

Its going to be a wild world when human-like AI and robots become more commonplace. I'm excited and concerned. Notice the warm fuzzy ears, the blinking eyes, the continual checking back with the human user..."please don't hurt me!" would you do it?

Leonardo Robot Dieser kleine Kerl sieht für einen Roboter nicht nur ungewöhnlich aus, er hat auch erstaunlich ’sozial-intelligente’ Fähigkeiten. So kann Leonardo nicht nur auf veränderte Umgebungssituationen reagieren, sondern auch auf Berührung - u...
