A "Winebot," or a robot that can taste, fires off a beam of infrared light from its left arm to a bottle of Shiraz, and tell the kind of wine during a demonstration at a laboratory in Tsu, central Japan, Tuesday, Aug. 22, 2006. Some of the light is absorbed and the light that returns is then analyzed in real time to determine the object's chemical content. Researchers at NEC System Technologies and Mie University have designed the robot, a mechanical sommelier. (AP Photo/Shizuo Kambayashi)

Robot luggage!! Once the bag's owner slips on a watch-like controller, the suitcase is under his control, able to follow both passively over a wireless link, and to obey voice commands. The bag's wheels are each independently controlled for smooth travel in any direction, and laser sensors help it navigate rough terrain and avoid running over small children.

Robot dogs are usually rubbish. K9 off Doctor Who was merely an oversized toaster with a posh voice. And Muffit, that insufferable robo-hound from Battlestar Galactica, was little more than a chimp in an Ewok suit (no, really - we've checked).

The famous Japanese company ZMP, that we already featured here at Akihabara News (Robots are invading Akihabara, The ZMP Robot on video (IREX 2005)), now propose a cute new little wonder the MIURO! Actually the Murio is more close to a Robot Jukebox than an ASMIO's competitor. ZMP thought that having the possibility to enjoy music where ever you are would be a wonderful thing, and decided to develop an autonomous little robot which will crawl around your house and please you with its tune.

Clearing big drifts of snow sucks, if not for the fact that you're doing manual labor in freezing cold weather then because the tools just aren't cute enough. Leave it to Japan to solve both these horrible problems with one delightful robot. Yuki-taro is an autonomous snowplow robot that is loaded with GPS and a couple of video cameras to make its way around. It doesn't just push snow around, oh no. It eats snow, turns it into compressed blocks, then poops them out so they can be used later for alternate sources of cooling and refrigeration. Seriously, how awesome is Japan? If it's possible to have a crush on a country, I've got one. Be my valentine, Japan. Adam Frucci

A PicoCricket is a tiny computer that can make things spin, light up, and play music. You can plug lights, motors, sensors, and other devices into a PicoCricket, then program them to react, interact, and communicate. For example, you can make a cat and program it to purr when someone pets it. Or you can make a birthday cake and program it to play a song when someone blows out the candles. The PicoCricket Kit is similar to the LEGO® MINDSTORMS robotics kits. MINDSTORMS is designed especially for making robots, while the PicoCricket Kit is designed for making artistic creations with lights, sound, music, and motion.

Perhaps to call this contraption a robot would be stretching the meaning of that word a little. So, think of it more like a mannequin with a creepy, yet innovative feature. Its called Chatty, and is on display at the Tokyo International Anime Fair 2006. Developed by the Ishikawa Optics & Art Corporation, its point is to give the mannequin/robot a more realistic, human-like face.
