Though none other than Judah Friedlander has declared it impossible for androids to cross the Valley of the Uncanny, the creations of Tatsuya Matsui's Flower Robotics just might be the first to make it. The trick is, instead of straining himself against the limitations of technology to invent a robot that flawlessly mimics an ultraintelligent, grown-up human like his peers, Matsui threw in the perfection towel and said "You know what? If the best we can do right now is a robot with the artificial learning skills of a toddler, why not make something that looks and acts like a robotic toddler?" (except it was probably in Japanese).
