The answer is yes if Sony is be believed, "It is the product of cutting edge artificial intelligence and dynamics technology. An entertainment robot that lives with you, makes life fun, makes you happy. It's name is QRIO."
It gets better, "QRIO can gather information and move around on its own accord. QRIO not only walks on two legs, it can also manage uneven surfaces, dance, recognize people's faces and voices, and carry on conversation. QRIO is eager to be friends with people." I'm not sure these guys/girls/gadgets [do robot have gender?] are going to do that well in the UK, but you're still got to marvel at the design and engineering gone into these puppies. Any back to the press gems, oh yes, it even dreams, "QRIO's dreams are limitless. But one is clear to make your life fun and happy. For example, QRIO uses body language and words to convey a feeling of intimacy; QRIO can connect to the Internet and share the kind of information you like to hear." Yeah. http://www.sony.net/SonyInfo/QRIO/top_nf.html
