    You mean 30 years for the Japanese to put a robot in the Whitehouse?

    But seriously, 5 year old human equivalency in what? Go through it feature
    by feature, ie do a profile of human vs. robot. Robots far surpass humans
    now in some ways. Do the Japanese want to dumb down the machines to a 5
    year level? No. So exactly how do they want to increase the level of the
    robot in that profile?

    POC
