The long, hard way to get there... - Scifi-Meshes.com

Full story HERE

Ok, the japanese have gone the long, hard way to get someplace. Quick synopsis, japanese scientists have invented a 73 lb. robot child with 56 actuators, 197 sensors and a simulated vocal cord to speak, so that they can study "child development".

Why not just study a real human child?

Does anyone else think this is going waaay out of the way to study something that's right there under your nose anyway?!

The japs have stopped having real children years ago.

I've got one of those, he's a lot more realistic and he cost a lot less.
