 Hanson Robotics , the creators of the Albert Einstein and Philip K. Dick robots are hoping to break into the home robot market. David Hanson, the companies founder, likes to create life-like robots that blur the line between man and machine.
"If you make it perfectly realistic, you trigger this body-snatcher fear in some people," he said. "Making realistic robots is going to polarize the market, if you will. You will have some people who love it and some people who will really be disturbed."
He's now hoping to bring to market home entertainment robots that are about 2 ft tall, with cartoonish features. Hanson plans to have these robots to market in about a year and price them for around $3,000.
