First android I'd care to call "a person" SONY SDR

This robot has kept a low profile. It doesn't go on sale till later this year, and will cost "as much as a luxury car" . Honda's Asimo is in TV comercials, but it is unaffordable, and it sure as hell doesn't HAVE A CONVERSATION with that paperboy, plus, at the Honda website, I have seen someone behind the curtains with a Radio Controll running it. The Sony robot has a 60,000 word vocabulary, and I believe is pretty much self contained. They've done the hard part, now all they have to do is make it taller and wrap it in a soft plastic Sean Young doll body. ---Ladies and gentlemen- The First Replicant! (and, you can buy one) http://www.tokyodv.com/news/SonySDR-4XRobot.html Sony has 16 years and 4 months to work on it. (Nov. 2019) My bet is they meet the deadline.
