Anarchy in the UK
Sony's Qrio made his UK debut at the London’s "Best of Stuff" show -- playing host, singing, dancing, football-playing, and holding intelligent conversations.
Qrio, which is about the size of a three-year-old child, is at the forefront of developments in artificial intelligence, according to its Japanese maker Sony. "He will greet visitors and is flying in from Japan. He probably has his own airplane seat, that is how highly Sony prize him," said Mr Irish.
