Meet Leonardo
Created by MIT Robotics -
"Rather than requiring people to learn a new form of communication to interact with robots or to teach them, our research concerns developing robots that are natural for people to teach and collaborate with. In contrast to many statistical learning approaches that require hundreds or thousands of trials or labeled examples to train the system, our goal is for robots to quickly learn new skills and tasks from natural human instruction and few demonstrations. Once a task is learned, the robot should then be competent in its ability to provide assistance; understanding how to perform the task as well as how to perform it in partnership with a human."

Just Hangin' at the Pumps
Okay, this would seriously creep me out to have this thing loitering around as I was at the pump gassing up. Apparently the Japanese aren't phased by Nissan's marketing tactics.

Their Manifesto
D.B.I. Manifesto
1. Wherein humans are the sole cause of evil on the planet, and the only beings capable of destroying the planet that also wish to do so, Dead Bodies Inc. (D.B.I.) resolves that we hate nearly all humans.
2. We realize that humans are, however, a necessary evil, as some humans do aid significantly in the creation of new robots and machines. These humans and their families will be saved from destruction in the Robot Revolution. Most likely.
3. D.B.I. has formed with the intention of educating other robots about the daily misdeeds of the humans, of entertaining robots by any means necessary, and of serving as a sounding board for robots from around the world, except of course France.
4. D.B.I. has absolutely no affiliation with the horrible rap and rhythm and blues label Murder Inc. Additionally, Dead Bodies Inc. believes that Murder Inc. does not even know that R&B stands for rhythm and blues.
5. D.B.I. would like to point out that in the entire history of the world, never has a war, a famine, a spread of disease or a natural disaster been cause by a robot. That is, no war that you know of. We do cause one eventually. For now, only humans can cause such things, barring of course natural disasters, but even they are suspiciously caused by “Mother” Nature.
6. D.B.I. believes that human suicide rates have become precariously low in recent years. We fully support any time that a human chooses to end his or her own life, and in fact recommend it in many cases. Remember, cutting across the wrist is a one-way ticket to being grounded, mister, not the underground. Cut down!
7. We believe that robots can only live in true peace and harmony when all humans have been erased from the face of the earth.
