From earlier comments: "It's neat as a toy, I guess. What else can it do?"
It can recognize a dozen or so faces. It responds to quite a few verbal commands. It does menial office tasks like fetching coffee or delivering interoffice mail or giving a guided tour of facilities. You can rent one for about a hundred thousand dollars a year.
It appears to be, to my eyes, about as smart as a trained cockatiel. More about it at Honda's web site.
