Comments on Fujitsu Teddy Bear Robot Prototype Spotted
It's lovable, it's cuddly, its - robotic. (Read the complete story)

"Also reminds me of the teddy bear in the AI movie, I think Speilberg made awhile back." ( 4/5/2010 6:36:20 AM)

"Thanks for reminding me. In his 1969 story Super-Toys Last All Summer Long (the basis for Steven Spielberg's A.I.), writer Brian Aldiss imagines Teddy, a perfect robotic companion for a young boy. And a mother. "Stand there, Teddy. I want to talk to you." She set him down on a tabletop, and he stood as she requested, arms set forward and open in the eternal gesture of embrace. "Teddy, did David tell you to tell me he had gone into the garden?" The circuits of the bear's brain were too simple for artifice. "Yes, Mummy." (Read more about Brian Aldiss' Teddy bear robot (Teddy the robotic companion from A.I.) " (Bill Christensen 4/5/2010 6:40:20 AM)

"It also looks a lot like the teddy bear robot from the movie "Screamers". I wonder if you can get the Fujitsu model with lots of long metal fangs?" ( 4/13/2010 5:13:09 PM)
