GHHHH this is so awesome, i want a cute robot that can write stuff and play the violin. (; A;the motorized wheelchairs were creepily reminiscent of WALL•E, but they seem like they would be a good idea for people who actually NEED wheelchairs.in conclusion, fuck yeah Toyota.

This is a robot. No emotion or expression. I don't see the point in playing a violin with that. Yeah, it's really amazing but they should be inventing things that will help do what people can't.
