The computer animated transformer in the citroen commercial isn't real though. I'm much more impressed with the Land Walker, because that one is real.

When you find it, don't touch and hold up her. A build-in holding up censor alerts, and Kitty yell "Don't hold me up" again and again.
Don't touch receptionists even if they're nothing but robots.

Robot Suit HAL, Hybrid Assistive Limb, was defeated by Mitsubishi's Egg-shaped car, "i", and missed the good design grand prize 2006.

http://www.g-mark.org/english/archive/2006/award-best15.html

The "Good Design Award" is Japan's only comprehensive design evaluation and commendation system. This system itself has its origins in the "Good Design Selection System" (generally known as the "G-Mark System") instituted by the Ministry of International Trade and Industry in 1957.

Prof. Sankai kindly declined an invitation from certain country with his belief that robots should help people.

Id like to have a suit that was only slightly bigger than my own body but with hydraulic assisted springs for higher jumping,faster running,easier climbing etc. but mainly for the fun of it,kind of a muscle helper suit

Baka robo should be mechanical;
Baka robo should be useless; and
Baka robo should make people laugh.

If it makes people laugh, then it isn't useless, because it is useful for making people laugh.

Right. The prize should go to a robo ancient Greek sophist or a robo US lawer.
Or they should play a standing comedy, manzai, together.
