LinuxDevices is reporting that a run of 100 Linux-powered humanoid robots goes on sale this Friday in Japan. From the article: 'priced at 1.5M Yen (about $14,000), not including 10,000 Yen (~$90) monthly service fees. Mitsubishi Heavy Industries conceived of Wakamuru as a pleasant companion offering a range of electronic-age valet services'.<p>There are some funny comments on that page, but the robot actually looks pretty interesting.<p>[ September 20, 2005: Message edited by: Matt Nuzum ]</p>
