Obama vs. Screaming Robot Seal, HRP-4C Stands Close-by

In his recent trip to Japan, USA President Barack Obama had the pleasure to meet with HRP-4C (the robotic dancing Diva) and Paro (a robot baby seal). He also got to sit in the latest Toyota i-REAL personal transportation vehicle. Below you can see a video of the event. Note how noisy PARO can be. More heads of state such as Russian Medvedev, Chinese Hu Jintao, and Chilean Sebastián Piñera were also present and had a chance to meet the robots. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YrIqSY7Y8L4 Via IEEE Spectrum.
