Sony is set to unveil its QRIO robot this weekend (Dec. 17-18) to the public on the 8th floor of its Tokyo & Ginza building in Japan. The QRIO can not only dance/walk on two feet, but also adapt to walking surfaces, made possible by four pressure sensors under the sole of each feet. Not even robots are perfect so that’s why QRIO will always return to an upright position after a fall or being pushed. Even more amazing, it can distinguish between faces, voices, and behaviors. In need of a song? QRIO has the ability to sing in a clear understandable voice with vibrato. Just think of the QRIO as a mini ASIMO. Check out some video clips here.
