We’ve written about Fujitsu’s robot teddy bear 
lets it track facial expressions (like abject terror). It has 300 programmed reactions to touch, sound, and facial expressions. Fujitsu is marketing this to schools and nursing homes for “robot therapy”, which sounds like an oxymoron. I think I need therapy just after watching the clip below.
Meh. I still prefer Teddy Ruxpin. I don’t see any slot on the Fujitsu bear for me to insert a George Carlin stand-up cassette. Advantage: Ruxpin.

Teddy Ruxpin + GNR Appetite For Destruction + 2 impressionable young boys from Iowa = Worlds of Win!
“So will he play ANY tape?”
“Let’s find out!”
Are you sure it doesn’t come with options like the robot beat in the film ‘Screamers’? Do not want.
Honestly, the best toy with animatronic actions and a built in cassette player was the Pound Puppy, as the mouth would move no matter what was playing. In 1986, my daughter, then 4, would insert a copy of George Thorogood’s “Bad to the Bone” and position the toy on the back of the sofa, just above the head of her victim. Perfect for those who were sleeping off the effects of a few too many.
Kinda disappointing, I expect better from you Japan.
“We’ve wrote about Fujitsu’s robot teddy bear before, but now they’ve released more footage from CEATEC.”
Seriously? “We’ve wrote”? Is it really so hard to write correct English?
