Walking Robot Goes on Sale in Japan

Two thousand 15-inch tall walking man-shaped robots called nuvo for home security and entertainment are going on sale in Japan for the equivalent of $5,450.

The robot can walk, get up and respond to voice commands and has links to mobile phones so that people can check on images of their homes taken on a digital camera inside the robot's head.
