Superior balance?

I removed the following sentence as it seems POV and has no source:

"Its features and capabilities were comparable to Honda's ASIMO, though far superior in balance and movement, partially due to the smaller size and weight of its body."

But ASIMO can climb stairs... Does that not qualify as "superior" balance? Plus it can move at 6km/h, and run in a circle; how fast can QRIO move? - Jak (talk) 11:24, 30 June 2006 (UTC)

qrio can climb stairs, run (with both feet off the ground) and can balance on a wobbling tray as seen in some videos (search around)

Re. sentence 'Before it was cancelled, QRIO was reported to be going through numerous development, testing and scalability phases, with the intent of becoming commercially available within three or four years.[citation needed] '

I could find no suitable reference, but did find one which contradicted it dated Dec 23rd 2003: http://www.techweb.com/wire/showArticle.jhtml?articleID=26803203 where Satoshi Amagai, president of Sony Entertainment Robot Company, said "to take the lead of robot technology development, we've been making Qrio evolve without considering the cost. Introduction to the market is still one of possibilities in the future." It would seem like a good idea to remove the sentence. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 62.3.100.54 (talk) 18:33, 4 October 2008 (UTC)

Beck

I'm cutting out the external link to the video on beck's website. It isn't there anymore. If I can find an official one on youtube, I'll post it in place of the original link.--Andrew, Flytape8490 15:37, 26 October 2008 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Flytape8490 (talk • contribs)

Features

I remember QRIO boasting features such as location awareness (mapping of a room, or by the user setting up landmarks throughout the environment) with a focus on human interaction, such as it reading a story to children. Some info on this could help round out the page —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.62.227.42 (talk) 01:39, 21 January 2010 (UTC)
