  • Who would watn this little fuck in there house? It doesnt speek english.

  • @xThexMaXx *want, *speak. Apparently, neither do you.

  • I'd get one if it looked like Wheatley from Portal 2.

  • Useful for those that are disables etc. Because really, the rest of the population doesn't need one of these unless you are extremely lazy.

  • But will it Blend?

  • oh who the f## needs that???

  • so japan is gonna get fat to?

  • Robot order a porno. Girlfriend what is this. Blame the robot.

  • what about Russian ? and English ??

  • this could be in a horror film. evil duck/turtle robot goes rouge and kills a family by controling a toaster and a lamp :o

  • hes calling babies fat

  • @rcminit109 no just chubby most babies lose that fat as they get older some are fat but lose it

  • My laptop is Toshiba! xd

  • IR hackbot

  • turtle dove...

  • Looks like a baby bird. Cute though.

  • This is a Motherfucking Example of Corporations having no touch with reality, they are waisting Earth's resources just to produce fucking Garbage with a twist, while serious research is still slow, because its is not marketable.....FUCK THIS SHIT. Not only having 3-5 remote controls in your house makes you a douche, but there should be no one addressing this problem.... Unless it is a home-spy robot, that they try to market as a gadget. Anyway, this is seriously insane.

  • Like your paint fume induced rantings?...

  • Dont mind me asshole, keep on loving and admiring and buying gadgets, untill no real feeling is left in life. Its your mothefucking life.... If you wanna spent it among gadgets rather than forests and beaches, if you wanna have third world people working 16 hours a day 7/7 to produce your crappy remote control manager puppy, its your problem. Just dont come crying to me when this earth does not hospitate hapiness or feelings anymore. Wanker.

  • What?

    So being some guy who sits around (with his own gadgets) and starts retarded youtube arguments that aren't going to accomplish anything for anyone is a major improvement over the brainless mouth which is consumerism?

    I spend the majority of time at my cabin, in Canada on in island, 45 minutes by boat from the nearest town of 300 people

    Don't get me wrong though, I love technology.

    Chill out dude. You're not helping anyone.

    A lot of really useless ideas happen before a really good one...

  • @ltcornflakes Well since you had your good deal of the world, tell me mate, what is it that you find usefull or valuable about this gizmo?

    A Computer or a stereo at least serve some kind of basic function. But making machines for every secondary task one can think, is outrageous and its all about making something for money.... while knowing it will end up in the garbage. Your not the only one with nature experience mate. I do my free camping and my forest trecking. And I do too appreciate tech

  • Oh I'm not saying that you aren't weathered in the world of nature.

    I was just saying that the outrage that you expressed was completely over the top.

    The practical use of the product? Pretty close to zero, it'd be fun to voice your commands to a little bird, but not all too useful. What is useful is the knowledge gained by all of the thought that went into this. Voice recognition, IR receivers both on a neural net? That's pretty cool...

    Also boosting the economy is helpful for future genius.

  • @ltcornflakes Yes, I know mate, it helps evolve knowledge in engineering and software, but hell you could do that with a few prototypes around universities and research facilities. It does not have to become the next plastic craze on online shops, and end up in a million dumbsters. I got my hi fi system at the age of 16. Decently made, modular, easy to repair, excellent sound, I will keep it till I die. The trend now seems to be to make gazillions of expendable shit that goes to garbage too soon

  • @ltcornflakes The point is, if you make something for the masses, make it a product not a soon-to-be-disgarded thingy. research and production should be more seperate. My mother still uses her 37 year old vacum cleaner at her home, and my new one sucked and broke down in 2 months, so I am back to the brum stick now. I just hate the buy-now (on credit) throw away on next Tuesday trend, which is just there to pump Capitalism and keep the cargo ships from China full of junk, sailing the globe.

  • @ltcornflakes And sorry for the outrage, but while watching this video, a few people died of the toxic fumes inhalled in the Gadget Morgues of China, while scavenging copper wires from dead gadgets with deadly acids that end up in the soil. If a product lasts 50 years and has a use, it minimizes such phenomenon. But fashionable objects of no use, are as easy to by as to throw away. By the way I do not watch TV so I got no need for the remote buster LMAO. I am, modular, I do anything on my pc.

  • @ltcornflakes Only this device here is not Technology, its stupidology. You know why? Cause a tired person from work would appreciate and relax with some music from a stereo, but I can hardly see one being relaxed by a gadget like this. Technology is one thing, common sense and priorities is another. But seriously this plastic Toshiba frog is giving new meaning to the word useless. Whats next? an artificial cat? Do not over generalize cause then it is hard to keep track of what is worthy.

  • Ah, u guys gave up... but I enjoyed reading the debate. Seriously, debates R fun to read, and give me more polital perspective...so keep on arguing

  • Yea sorry about "being that person" who argues on youtube...

    At least someone enjoyed my retarditity!

  • You two are fags.

  • Wow amazing... a troll. Nice channel mr Troll...eat up your pizza, its getting cold

    Japanese makes weird stuff. They try to make every invention they make not just functional, but cute as a button, as well.

  • aww its so cool!!! it looks like cartman only... whitier and more angel like

  • You know, you've given me an idea for a machinima.

    Also, now that you say it, I would love one that said "here's your damn channel, now gimme some pie!"

  • very cute.....

    I want it...

  • 多くの電力

  • It would b nice if Toshiba can make dat robot understand commands from other languages too like punjabi, hindi, french, spanish n so on!

  • I don't think the robot actually understands the words that are being said. It just recognises the sound wave pattern of the speech and associates it with the IR signal it detected.

    You could probably teach it to turn on the TV when you say the word "Frankenstein". Although why you'd want to is beyond me ;)

  • I know dat man, u don't have to b all "genius" here! I was just making a 'wild' prediction. who knows wat's gonna happen in future when r technology is progressing with such a fast rate.

  • I WANT IT

  • ME TOO

  • is it me but does that robot sound a bit like K-9 from Doctor Who ?

  • Very cute.

    What I can't understand, in this day and age, is why TV, DVD, etc manufacturers are still pumping out products that use Infra-Red (IR).

    Radio Frequency (RF) remote control is superior to IR as you don't need line of sight to the device. You can even control an RF device from another room (through walls). BOSE have had RF controllers for years, and the PS3 uses a BlueTooth RF system, so there's nothing stopping other manufacturers from following suit.

  • the only time you would need to use the the tv or dvd remote is umm lets see, when you in line of sight

  • Not necessarily.

    I have had coffee tables that have blocked line of sight (IR transmission) to my floor level entertainment unit in which my DVD player was. Using RF control would also eliminate the need for glass doors on entertainment units.

    Furthermore, some people have more than one TV connected to a DVD player or Cable TV receiver so they can watch movies and programs in other rooms of the house.

  • Omg .. Robots Are taking over the world.. Im Sure .. It will happen .. !!

  • aww Toshiba is so cute! ^.^

  • Its so cute. ; u;

  • LOL I'm not *that* lazy. What's wrong with just turning the channel by hand? XD This is good for people who are injured or ill tho.

  • weird tht thing can take over ur house!

  • Yea indeed... First robots take over your house next the neighboorhood and than later on .. THE WORLD

  • fuck that robot in ass

  • most living room shave about 5 remots now, so this little guy might be the asnwer to click, without the reality bending thing

  • Wonderful as they can be..I cant live with a potentially dangerous frequency waves emitter..thats right..cellphones are dangerous too..use them only when you really need them..

  • holy shit ............. i left the toester on XD

  • would be better if it could cut your dick off

  • its sooo cool

  • in soviet russia,

    robot control u!

    in soviet russia,

    tv watches u!

  • haha true true

  • I wanna have a robot which takes care of my cats while I am out.

  • Is About Time Everything Uses Voice Recognition/Speech Synthesis...

    We're So Behind In That Department

    They've No Plans In Selling It? Is That A Joke, Or Maybe Is Their Business Philosophy [The Reason Why They Don't Exist...] ?

  • lol and i thought remotes made us lazy but DAMN i want 1 if only i spoke japense -crys-

  • It's a universal remote controle,Only you don't have to hold or press anything.Just speak to it.Looks cool but I can do with mine very well for the moment.

  • wait so all it does is just pick up the ir signals?

  • wow now you onley need the "Cute" button!

  • so cute i wish they would release that to the public and sell it

  • japon is a country of aliens?,they are so intelligent,sorry for my bad english,i speak spanish,but the robot is cool!!,

    ta piola el robot ese feo,quiero uno loco,re piola,cuanto sale,US$100000 ,o que?

  • HAHAHA

  • lol. But I've Sad News For U...That Won't occur.

  • I'd backhand it, pimp style..if it doesn't deliver what i want

  • problem is, ApriPoco in Italian means "open a little bit"... :-D

  • Can't the name have several meanings?

  • nope, areskrl, it is a literal translation

  • If you say so...

  • I'm Italian, I feel quite confident about it ;-)

  • i want this an i want it in english!!!!!!!

  • Weird my laptop was made by toshiba...WHY ISNT IT HI-TECK?????

  • High-Tech, and a laptop is high-tech, weather it's good or not. I can do IR directing with my old PSP, and that's still not as "high-tech" as my computer.

  • Lol nice spam.

  • あるがき~ :P

    ^^

  • The world will end in one of two ways:

    Robot Apocalypse

    Zombie Apocalypse

    Just saying...

  • im sorry i live in Japan ... trust me ... my husand and i, and the majority of the population here are NOT richer than you!

    oh the emperor and empress and the politicians might be

    before rated me down, try reading up on the POLITICAL NEWS .. あり~ん^^

  • ari~n?

    I wanna live in japan 2 omg =P

  • Ohh n4 mind i guess its ur name x3

    My english aint that good and my japanese is the worst lol i just learned how to conjugate u-verbs lol x] my bad

  • I would love to live in Japan. J-rock, culture, everything is amazing.

    One of my girl friends Becki went to kyoto or tokyo and she was crying to go back.

    I want Ichiraku or Miso Ramen at one of those Street Sit-on places!

    I also heard that Japanese people don't really like Tourists or non-asian types moving to Japan. Something about crowded or not enough Japanese women.

    I know China allows only one child unless female.

  • It's because generally, there's a lot more racism there and cultures aren't the only thing that's different. Best to check these things up before actually considering moving.

  • I'm white? Don't think they have much hate for White Russians do they? haha

  • Its like a little turtle-penguin thing

  • That is freaking AWESOME!

  • so what if i turn it to the playboy channel and it asks what im doing and i tell it im jacking off can i reset it or what?...

    because i dont want to say that im jacking off to myself and it turns the tv on and its on dora the explorer and i lose my boner and im pissed now FUCK!@!!!

  • i dont want to know whats going on in 40-50 years in technology like that... scray... and exiting :)

  • OR just get a darn uni remote.

  • i want 1 soooo badly

  • aaaaaaaaand about only .00001 percent of the japanese population are interested or could afford one

  • not true actually there country is richer then us

  • Omg so cute XD

  • This is how i explain it : Bird that talks to other devices by your command.

  • Its wings look like larger versions of its eyes with smaller pupils. That's gotta be rough to live with, as a robot.

  • i'm sold. and also i love the japanese.

  • That is one cute little robot

  • if it comes to the US(when it comes out at all) i just hope it still has the cute little voice

  • Title is wrong. Prototype, not Protype :)

  • cute lol

  • it looks nice and sweet but its function is completely lame, its aimed for couch potato people.

  • i want one!

    XD

  • wow thats just lazy, "ehh i could press a button on a remote but who has the time"

  • i agree, but not entirely. we have 5 remotes that all need to be used just to turn on the Wii. With this little chicken i could just be like, "Turn on stereo, turn on cable box, turn on TV, change imput to GAME, turn on Wii" and i wont get frustrated over finding the remotes. lol

  • You would only have to say 'Activate Wii'  or something like that, and the computer can learn to turn on all needed parts

  • i want one in my living room!! i don't really need it, but it just looks awesome ;)

  • I want one. ^^ Even though I rarely have to handle more than one controller.

  • Desk robot is watching you masturbate.

  • desk robot is ploting with seiling cat..XD

  • Desk robot knows when you're sleeping. He also knows how to remote-operate your vacuum cleaner to knock the gun out of your closet and can then make it shoot you should you try anything suspicous. Morale of this threat: Gun does not belong near vacuum cleaner.

  • awhh... ahha .i love it,but im canadan ;( they will NEVER sell them in canada, ahha, too bad it dont work properly yet. (Y) good work.

  • Well this is fantastic. People aren't lazy enough as it is, they don't have to get up to change the channel on the television any more as of now, but in the future you can sit on your ass even more. So, no remotes, even less exercise, and we get to store fat in a whole new place: Our fingers. Great. Just great.

  • its sorta like rotom

  • Gah! It's like something that's escaped from Gundam Seed!

  • I dare him to shut down my tv while I'm watching it... he would be singing "dancing on the rain" for next month or more

  • *guy on phone* "Ok stop calling my house FUCK OFF LOSER!"

  • wow! thats really cool but what happens when people start argueing over what channel to be on or u want it on or off/ would it mess up??

  • This is great than asking someone to pass the remote

  • that looks cool

  • You're right, my academic and professional qualifications have no bearing on my ability to see that a robot is not a GUI. You really don't like being corrected do you? Three consecutive posts because someone pointed out you were mistaken?

    You're allowed to make mistakes. If you happen to post them in a public forum in a superfluous display of opinion and knowledge then it's a bit embarrassing, but who cares?. You're not going to help with all of this self-justification. Let it go.

  • BTW, this is nothing more than a GUI for people who hate using computers. The whole purpose of AI is to fool people into thinking computers think and feel. This is nothing more than a loaded control that doesn't require the involvement of a computer. But when it crashes.. The perceived IQ of the device reduces to 0, and it is a door stop..

    I'll be impressed when the hardware and software for such a device is open sourced. Robots are patentable, that's why the japanese make them.
