Back in March of 2004, Akibalive.com reported about NUVO, an amazing robot from Japan that can walk and talk, and even understands you. It was originally only able to speak and understand Japanese, but now it’s capable of speaking and understanding English. Here’s an excerpt from the original post last year:

Nuvo stands 39cm high and weighs 2.5 kilograms. The robot has a built-in camera that can be controlled via your cell phone and it also accepts voice commands. The soles of the feet have rubber tracks similar to those found on sneakers, hence the cooperation from Mizuno.
Dynamism.com is now exclusively offering this amazing robot. You can get the full specs and pricing info by clicking here.
Surely the gadget freak in your familiy would like to see this sitting under the tree, right?
