OOOOO New Robot

[Adam Y.]

I was kind of assuming that people would realize that the website was for a movie. Especially since it operates on the three laws of robotics. Though the robot does look realistic. The air muscles give it a nice touch of anthropomorphization. I heard that the movie will actualy include real hobby robots and will star Will Smith. Now all I need to do is read Irobot. http://robots.net/article/1058.html

From what I've been hearing, when the trailer first ran in theaters, more than a few people walked out thinking that it was an actual product that was being advertised instead of a movie...

I'm not sure if I would have done that myself, and I'll never know - I saw the TechTV story first. The ending - "Three Laws Safe" - is also a pretty major tipoff.
