Talking Universal Remote Control Robot Coming Soon

[Terry Olaes]

Toshiba is releasing a robot named “ApriPoko.” This little guy is a voice-operated universal remote control for multiple devices. Can’t wait to see one of you guys get a hold of one and mod it. I expect chain guns for arms or perhaps a Linux Penguin facelift.

Our little robot will first observe your behavior and ask you questions in order to learn how to operate various remote controls. ApriPoko detects IR beams and if you use a remote control the robot will ask you want you want to do.

PokoYoka=fool proof/idiot proof

isn't the this April fools joke a little early?
