A University in Japan has put together a theatre production where robots are specially programmed to speak lines with human actors and move around the stage and interact with them.
The play is called Hataraku Watashi (I, Worker)
Reports the BBC:
So far, the play is only 20 minutes long but it is hoped to become a full-length production by 2010.
The Wakamaru robot is manufactured by Mitsubushi but the software to train it for the stage was developed over two months at the university.
The 1-m (3-ft) tall humanoid robot is best known as a mechanical house-sitter and secretary.
But soon they may be signing autographs or trying to roll away from paparazzi.
