Those crazy kids down at Hanson Robotics made their way to the Wired NextFest

This is Einstein Hubo, the robot body with the head of Albert Einstein. The face is made of Hanson’s spiffy development, Frubber. It looks, moves and feels like skin and is one of those things that can be very Uncanny Valley if you’re not careful.

They brought th newest addition to the Hanson Family, Xeno! Xeno is billed at The World’s First Complete Robot, in that he can see, hear, react and walk! He’s also cute as a button.
