Fujisoft (http://www.engadget.com/tag/Fujisoft/)'s recently taken the wraps off its latest companion bot, and they call this one PALRO. PALRO's 39 centimeters tall (just over a foot), and boasts a 1.6GHz CPU Intel Atom CPU, 1 GB of RAM, 4 GB of flash memory, a 3 MP camera, Wi-Fi, 802.11 b/g/n, and a lithium ion battery to top it all off. He's also equipped with a 3 megapixel webcam, but don't worry -- his specs don't make him unapproachable. As you'll see in the video which is after the break, PALRO's probably the kind of guy that you could spend a lot of time with... but see for yourself. Fujisoft plans to start shipping units in March for 300,000 yen (that's about $3,300 ). Hit up the source link for a lot more video.Continue reading Fujisoft's PALRO humanoid robot in the running to be our new best bud (http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/02/fujisofts-palro-humanoid-robot-in-the-running-to-be-our-new-bes/)
