Sony QRIO Robot gets Tera Flop Brain
 
 

Sony's humanoid robot QRIO is getting access to a Tera-Flop Computer Cluster.

Sony is supposedly working on a project to connect the QRIO via high-speed network to a 250 Computer Cluster. The company aims to enable QRIO to make its own decisions. There are no details in the news published in Nihon Keizai Shimbun Sunday edition on the features and approach of the Software running on the Computer Grid. Story on Nikkei Net (subscription).

We reported about the Sony QRIO running robot last december. In another story the QRIO was working as a Voice actor for the astro Boys animation series. More about QRIO on Sony's Site.
