Plot Summary: Based on the classic story collection by famed science fiction writer Isaac Asimov, "I, Robot" will concentrate on Detective Del Spooner, who, with the aid of psychologist, Dr. Susan Calvin, will investigate the death of Dr. Miles Hogenmiller, a brilliant scientist who worked at US Robotics. Initially labeled a suicide, Spooner has other ideas, convinced that a robot may have taken the doctor?s life. Isolated and eccentric, Dr. Hogenmiller appears as a hologram of himself, summoning Spooner to his side after his death. He was working on a very special project when his life was cut short. He had created something quite extraordinary ? a robot with a living brain, code named ?Sonny.? Spooner goes to Hogenmiller?s boss, Dr. Lance Robertson, with his suspicions. Incensed that Spooner wants to charge one of his robots with murder, Dr. Robertson maintains Dr. Hogenmiller took his own life. Terribly weary, Robertson knows full well that the future of his company would be snuffed out should the press get wind of the idea that a robot would, under any circumstances, kill a human being.

Yes, it is for real. This robot has been in development for many years. I'm quite surprised on it's early release date though. I didn't know they sorted out their OS issues. But the doctor knows best, so I gather they have it working very well.

Perhaps that was another robot I'm thinking of....the joints don't look the same as the robot I remember...

edit again: movie? hmm....maybe...darn, I was hoping this was the real one... *goes off to look for the one he remembers*

I wish this was for real, not because I want one but becuase I would love to see science progress this far now. This will probably be a reality in like another 10 or 20 years, but I want it now. (the litte sony robots!!!) :D
