Complete waste of money. They need to grow up and develop something useful.

Expressive, expensive.... either is OK. Right now the "rich are getting richer" and this type of item would be a great thing to show off. They've so much money that it does not matter if this "toy" even cost as much as $2 million.... they'd probably buy it.

Cute but serves no purpose other than make weabos cry with joy.

More toys for the adult children of Japan.

Such negativity in the comments. Jeez. Did they use your tax money or something? This is a pretty amazing piece of engineering.

Agreed, I prefer this over a diamond laced statue of hello kitty, a 1 million yen yubari mellon or olympic expenses any day.
No video...again JT? sigh

Some of the miserable people leaving comments should lighten up and enjoy something fun for a change. Why is it any of your business what someone does with their own money. He's actually created something amazing!

Amazing! I like it and the technology involved!

Expensive toy? no, far from it, as an engineer I think that it is brilliant, what this project has done is pushed peoples minds to build such a complex item, these people who made this will probably use there talents to go onto building other complex machines, may be robotic arms that can undertake complex medical procedures (ie remote robots and surgeons that could be on the other side of the world) nuclear accident clear ups, who knows, well done guys!.

As long as I don't have to pay for it, I love it.

From a business view, there is no wasting money for this kind of project if the inventor(s) and entrepreneur(s) know how to market it.
In a bigger picture, this robot will surely capture attention and imagination of the world with which 'things Japanese' will have a positive connotation and this is exactly what Japan needs.
