Robot Navigates Obstacle Course and….Gives Free Hugs?

Below is a video of a robot demonstration to what looks like an elementary school class. When I was in elementary school we never got cool robot shows, just Number Munchers.

In the video, a robot navigates an obstacle course until it comes upon a wooden statue of a human. The robot then proceeds to give it a big robo-hug and carries it a short distance. I can't imagine a robo-hug would be very comfortable, and personally I would be terrified as to where it was taking me.

Robots one step closer to being able to chase people

Robots are slowly beginning to pick up more and more skills to make them human-like or better. Toyota has built and demonstrated a robot that is able to run. Although the speeds are not very fast, this is just a small step towards giving robots too many abilities.
