"The HR-2 robot was constructed during a period of three months at Chalmers University in Sweden. It has 22 degrees of freedom which enables it to easily move around imitating human motions. The robot is also equipped with stereovision giving it possibilities to perform hand-eye coordination. For that task an artificial neural network is evolved. Furthermore, the artificial brain is capable of tracking faces as well as recognising them. The HR-2 is also able to speak."
This is a nerdy but very charming little thing. You will find a movie presentation of the robot (35.5 Mb) which I found well worth downloading. Maybe you do too.

Sorry, don't remember where I found it. But thanks.
