Sony’s QRIO Robot
Building on their AIBO techology, SONY decided to create a ‘partner’ that talks to you and plays with you: the QRIO robot walks on two legs, recovers from falls, dances, recognizes people’s faces and voices, and talks.
UPDATE: New movies showing the QRIO running, throwing a ball and dancing in unison.

I want to know how much cost in USA money ?
And I am deaf, I can teach this QRIO can learn sign laugaue ?
I have gone to many qrio websites and I absolutely LOVE this thing! It truely is a dream robot! I am just sooo excited out of my mind! It is so awesome to have your own little robo friend and companion running around the house! Its just like a movie! My point is, when is it for sale?! When I am this excited,I can NOT wait!!!
When is this fellow on sale, how much is this friend? He seems very extraordanary!!
I read from a site that it can “fetch as much as a BMW” if released to regular consumers. They said it’s more of a corporate toy. I think bill gates will have an army of them though.
can you teack it to look up porn and erotic stories and display them on your laptop or something. can you tell it to do stuff for you. like get a small pen or something
When will the, “Unholy minion of the shadowy netherworld” mod chip be released?
This thing is just too freaky. Imagine what would happen if you pissed this thing off, it would attack you in your sleep!
When is the Qrio coming out into stores?
Im not tryin to get anyones hopes down but usually when things seem too good to be true..they are. i want this robot just a much as anyone but the price would probably be extrodinary but hey! like it while you can!
I love QRIO. When will he be in stoers, or be on the website? How much will he cost? I need a friend such as Qrio. I am a unupopular kid and I need a friend. I will buy at any cost.
today I see QRIO here in Thailand at ICT exhibition 2 robot is dance look nice and like human move to fast I love it , the presenter at sony tell me it had no plan for sale yet,
when it on sale I will get it!!I dont care how expensive .I like it
This thing is going to ROCK!!! It’s been a dream of mine since i first read the book I Robot so many years ago to have my own personal robot. Anyone know if you can give it a memory chip with orders to kill? Lol. Anyway, plz tell me the minute this thing comes out, cause im buying it!!!!
I just wanted to say that i think that qrio will be sooo expensive nobody will ever believe. I was lookin around at robots and saw this website…

The humonoid robot is similar to qrio but not really as human like (in my oppinion). If u take a look the price it is 48000. I WAS LIKE OMG….THAT SUCKS
i think that robot is soooo cool but how much really is the price i mean it can’t actually be 48000 can it?
I actually work for a branch of Sony in Miami Florida. This robot would cost $45,999 dollars if sold to the general public. There are plans to release a future version of this robot without all the bells and whistles of the original. The future version will not feature the cutting edge technology of the Qrio® that you see movies of now. The future version will retail for an estimated $9,999. There is no set release date for either Qrio® model, so don’t hold your breat, it could be awhile.
why wouldnt the retali version have the full technology? that sucks…
once i heard about this thing last year in the time for kids i knew i wanted it. my sister said that she watched a movie on it and it falls a lot to bad thats its so expensive i think it will be awhile though….. i want it too!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
are you all crazy!!!!!!! i want that robot more than anything in the world!!! its just to cool!!!!!! but!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! NO WAY COULD IT BE 48000 U RETARD!!!! THATS IMPOSSIBLE, WHIO IS EVERY GOING TO BUY SOMETHING THATS 48000$ NOT EVEN BILL GATES! well maybe him
I HEARD IT WOULD BE 64 000 $$$ BILL GATES NEW ARMY LMAO
