Undeniably one of the coolest robots we've ever seen, Buildup Co.'s new automaton has such a mundane task that I think it's rather dangerous. After all, if you were this 'bot, loaded with tons of amazing technology — including 24 points of articulation, a mouth that syncs with your voice, and a fiber-reinforced outer shell finished in sleek gloss black — wouldn't you resent being given the job of vinegar spokesman?

That's right, the Tamanoi Vinegar Robot has just one mission: To tell visitors of Tamanoi Vinegar Corp.'s Osaka headquarters about the virtues of the company's (surely amazing) vinegar. But I suspect in its down time the vinegar droid will be hatching some kind of destroy-all-humans revenge plot to make its masters pay for such humiliation. Your robotic hubris endangers us all, Japan!
