From the article: "And robotics company Cyberdyne Inc are set to start making it on a mass scale on Friday."

I attended a 2 week class with a 20’s Japanese woman. Her infatuation with robots was extreme. Her art work was all about robots. She is representative of her culture that is bonkers over robots.

What is a boffin?
