Cali Lewis in robot heaven
If you enjoy Cali Lewis’s refreshing style, and you like robots, then Cali going gaga over robots during the first few hours of her recent trip to Japan is sure to be a fun ride. Enjoy! (Hint, if the toys aren’t you’re thing, stick with it, because at 1:30 the center of attention turns to one of Hiroshi Ishiguro’s Geminoid robots, being used in a storefront display, where the obvious comparison is with a static mannequin.
