Robot designers assemble 'Rong Cheng', a newly-created robot, at
the Institute of Automation of Chinese Academy of Sciences in
Beijing August 7, 2006. Rong Cheng, dubbed as the first Chinese
'beauty' robot, is able to respond to some 1,000 Chinese words. She
can dance, bow and greet people in the Sichuan dialect as she is
destined for the Sichuan Science Museum to serve as a receptionist.
The robot costs about 300,000 yuan (US$37,500) to make, according
