Humanoid robots wow Japanese


Humanoid robots, some of which can even walk on two legs, dominate the world's largest robot exhibition, held this weekend in Yokohama, southwest of Tokyo. The show brings together more than 90 different types of robot from 38 companies, colleges and other organisations, up from last year's 72 bots.

As usual, Honda's Asimo stole the limelight in a way that would have the other automatons hopping mad.
