Hey man, I'm always up for big giant robots from Japan. In this case they've chosen a format that makes the population feel like is friendly, efficient and safe. Excellent PR.

This photo is certainly a better look at it.
I'm not particularly sure why today all the news is focused on it, I was seeing reports of the development two or three years ago on it.
