New Toy?

| CHARLI and DARwIN with Jon :) |
CHARLI (the big guy to Jon's right) is the United States’ first full-size autonomous humanoid robot.
Jon's holding DARwIN -- the product of the Robotics and Mechanisms Laboratory at Virginia Tech (RoMeLa). DARwIN can walk, albeit at a snail's pace, and stand up if it falls after some gyrations that resemble hip-hop moves.
Either way, I'm pretty sure Jon was just visiting, not buying. BUT, I'm sure his boys would have loved having these robots around :) I know I would -- but I'm a geek like that.
