Ai will be roaming around Omiya, Saitama and other central stations. Ai will initially be a guide for the various facilities and services around the station although the picture looks like it has a SUICA charger on its shoulder.
Ai is 120cm high and weighs 50kgs. Humans will communicate with Ai via the touch panel in the chest or via speech. Ai also has the ability to speak.
Ai also has the ability to wonder around on its own so as an initial security measure, they are going to restrain Ai's movements down to a few meters. Can you imagine this this running amuck in Tokyo? ^^;
It will be only a matter if time before this not-so-cool-looking robo looks like Actroid or some other mecha.

I got this weird feeling that this robot is a possible prerequisite to Skynet and T-800. (-__-")

Nice idea - hope the thing will keep still when using it, and not wander into crowds - you know how busy JR stations get! That thing wouldnt last 5 minutes in the UK!
