    Does anybody remember the movie "Cherry 2000"? I can't wait for something like this to be realized... then I can get laid as much as I want!

    She's cute. I guess between this and the ice slider, it's super-pedo day at Gizmodo.

    That picture's deceiving. You can't really tell which one is the robot.

    @frigg: Look closely at the photo and you'll see the attachment seams, clearly giving away the one on the right as being the robot. Here she is pre-assembly:

    From the source website:

    Berti is less than two years old but will help scientists develop artificial intelligence outstripping anything previously seen before. "It was certainly a challenge for us but the result is a robot which is as sophisticated as anything else out there."


    So, let me get this straight. Rock, scissors, paper--a game of random choice. And this robot can move its hand into one of those three, completely random positions.


    Umm...pardon me, but just how is this arbitrary motion "sophisticated", with an "intelligence outstripping anything previously seen before"?

    @bosskev: It takes the "dick move" approach to the game and won't show its hand until slightly after you've begun your reveal, ensuring a win every time.

    @mhlaxp:


    but that's just a non intelligent, linear response - no different than pushing a button to make it do a particular hand gesture.


    i mean, here's the main code for something like that:


    if rock:

    paper()

    if paper:

    scissors()

    if scissors:

    rock()
