Interesting with the "Vocawatcher" process that they use to generate the mouth movements on the robot.

I'd be more comfortable around Honda's Asimov than a robot that looks a human being, just in my opinion.  :P

I know what you mean. I'm not sure why the Japanese are so fascinated in making life-like robots. It's very impressive and all, but building human limitations into a machine seems kind of pointless in the grand scheme of things.
