Asimo's rival?

Korearobot Researchers from the Korea Institute of Science and Technology claim that they have developed the world's smartest humanoid robot. According to engineer You Bum-Jae, the robot has more intelligence than other androids because its brains are housed outside its body in a server that handles all data processing and storage. From Agence Presse France:
When showed a 10,000 won ($10) bank note, it said: “That’s a 10,000 bank note that people would like to have.”

When asked about its name, it said: “I am sorry. I don’t have a name yet. Please give me one.”

Then it waved its hands, saying: “I will see you again next time when I will have become wiser.”
