Latest robots fill helper, entertainer roles

Yokohama, Japan - A child-size robot from Honda and a team of diminutive
dancing robots from Sony wowed a preview audience at the Robodex2000 show.  

Standing four feet tall and weighing 95 pounds, Honda's Asimo walked onto the
stage like a small child, with a fast, smooth gait that amazed the human
observers. Not to be outdone, one of Sony's Aibo robots showed its smarts by
finding, and then netting, a soccer ball of a certain color.
