Little Island Will Turn You Into A Robot Doll
Writing by Evan Ackerman on Thursday, 5 of February , 2009 at 6:57 am
Need to weird out someone special? In just six weeks, a Japanese company called Little Island can ship you a smaller and more robot-y version of yourself based on a picture you send them. The 40cm high robots include a 500 mHz computer running Windows XP on an 80 gig solid state disk, a webcam, a speaker, touch sensors, multiple servos, and a power cord and ethernet cord coming out of the butt. The computer powers voice recognition and speech synthesis software (which emulates your voice after you teach it), and the robot will read you RSS feeds or you can even make VOIP calls with it.
The whole setup will cost you about $2,215, and Little Island is currently “very interested” in overseas customers.

Wow! I can safely say that’s one VoIP application I never would have thought of on my own! How wild!
