I really want to think this is fake. That it's the beginning of some sort of deep level marketting campaign for either Mini Cooper or the soon to be released iRobot movie. Similar to the revolutionary web (and real world) marketting work the studios did for AI.

But at this point I can't find any other information to prove or disprove this robot. So...

It's frickin cool!

How long do you think it'll be before real-life robots will be developed and used for fighting tournaments and world domination?

It seems that it is advertising.

A whois lookup on r50rd.co.uk returns the address:

6 darblay street
london
W1V 8DM

A quick search for this address on Google reveals:

Martyn Gould Productions, 6 D'Arblay St, London, W1F 8DN, UK

On a page titled: "Film and Television - Post Production, Commercials"

After the Matrix came out I was scared ****less of what might come of full AS, which is what people commonly mistake AI for. Then the last two movies were released and my phobia vanished

Just to clarify and use to impress women: AS (Artificial Sentience) is simply the ability to learn, in which intelligence is obtained through learning. AI, however, is just the simulation of intelligence, or human intelligence, without the ability to learn: able to think, speak, etc. with given interactions.
