Pictures, videos, and links about both the QRIO and its predecessor, the SDR-4X.



You've probably heard about the QRIO being the first running robot. I would have translated the article from Impress Watch myself, but I felt as though Reuters did a pretty good job of summing it up. [1]

Instead, I offer you media! Pictures, movies, and links. These come from Impress Watch, unless otherwise noted. Thanks guys!
