Robot gives directions, signs autographs

Seems like every week Japan comes out with a newer, cooler robot. They've got 'bots as receptionists and 'bots to clean apartment buildings — all we've done so far is slap a gun on one and send it to war. Standing just less than four feet tall and weighing around 130 pounds, Toyota's TPR-Robina's bulbous body might look pretty awkward, but it has systems built in to guide it around obstacles.
