Domo arigato, Mr. Roboto

Sony's humanoid QRIO robot places a polystyrene cube on a target point to demonstrate its stacking ability at the Sony building in Tokyo. The QRIO, equipped with a fisheye-lens camera on its head to observe at an almost 180-degree angle, can collect blocks from the floor and stack them on a marked place.
