And now I am eagerly waiting for Honda to start manufacturing <a href="http://world.honda.com/ASIMO">Asimo</a> as a retail product. Let's hope that Microsoft is working with Honda's robotics team to ensure that Windows Mobile Smartphones are compatible with their robots. :) So what kind of chores do you have in mind for your Smartphone controlled robot?
