Is this a rehearsal for his meeting with Prime Minister Abe?

The way Australia has been going through Prime Ministers in the last few years, the robot may very well be next in line... I for one welcome our new robot overlords.

Yep, this photo reinforces almost every stereotype about Japan: a cute culture that loves robots more than actual interaction with other humans.

Why do foreign dignitaries always have to 'meet' a damn robot every time they come to Japan? To perpetuate the well established myth of Japan as the tech wonder of the world?

Hopefully Turnbull's talks with his Japanese counterpart Abe has turned out good.

ASIMO has been around for 15 years. I know there have been upgrades and improvements, but isn't it time for ASIMO's successor?
