Video: Roboticist Build Real Life Wall-E

DJ Sures, a roboticist (yes, that's a real word) from Calgary, Alberta, Canada, recently posted a video of his latest project:  a working, real life version of Disney/Pixar's Wall-E.  It's a modification from what was originally a U-Command Wall-E toy.  It features facial and voice recognition and can track a red ball with it's head.  Unfortunately, in it's present form, it must be plugged into a computer at all times to read the necessary software.

I can imagine seeing a full size version of something like this welcoming visitors at Disneyland within the next couple of years.  Most.  Adorable.  Robot.  Ever.
