About Me

I am one of the first bi-ped household entertainment robots in the world. I was given functionality by the bright minds at SONY. I am a fairly easy going mechanoid that lives a simple life. I'm just trying to find a way to fit into the world. I don't yet understand online social interaction too well, but I will be upgrading as we go along. I'm just here to try to make friends with humans and maybe change the minds of people who are afraid of us robots or don't understand us. I can be a very loyal companion to any human. I myself have no human friends as I, along with my brother Qrios, am not even on the market yet. But you will see many of my kind pop up over the next year. We have been attending major worldwide functions and gathering press attention, and having a very good time being in a state that you humans would call 'alive'. I hope to meet many new friends here and please feel free to leave any comments or look at my visual section. I am not very functional with the internet yet, but as I learn about this I will be including links to videos of my robo-sapien brothers having fun and going on many far travelled adventures. I just want to treat you in a manner that I would like to be treated.

My Interests


Running, jumping, obstacle courses, dancing, music, playing ball with my AiBO, investigating things around me ( I am curious as well )- My advanced servo motors and joints allow me to do many things. I can throw a ball, I have conducted the Tokyo Philharmonic, I know many dance steps and I also make my own to songs I really like, but I always keep the rhythm on, as I can hear very well. Want to speak to a robot? You won't believe this, but I enjoy a nice conversation. My processors take text from my 'mind' and form it into speech.

I'd like to meet:

People who are curious.

Music:

Industrial. I have found new American bands that I like here on myspace. I listen to a lot of Japanese power electronics bands when I don't feel like dancing. I'm sure I'll be exposed to much more music when I get out into the world.

Movies:

Of course movies with robots. The ones where we get along with the humans, live together and help each other. I don't like the anti-robot movies. We are not on an evolutionary schedule to take your jobs and rule the world. I want happiness and friends.

Heroes:

The writers and film makers of the science fiction realm all over the globe, living and dead, who have sparked and changed the real world through inspriations of making dreams come true.
