WATCH: Obama Nervously Tries Out Robot Car in Japan
Last week, President Obama visited Japan to attend the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) summit. He also took some time out to interact with the country's advanced robots.
Obama listened to the croonings of the HRP-4C singing android and petted a moving, squealing plush seal 'bot used to cheer hospital patients.
The president's hosts also sat him down in the futuristic Toyota i-Real, a single-person pod car that reaches speeds of up to 15km/hr, reports TechCrunch.
Though Obama wasn't quite up for the challenge of driving the i-Real, he did say \"That's what we're going to be driving\" as he exited the vehicle.
\"Meeting with robots was probably more enjoyable than the often tough negotiations attended in recent days,\" Obama said, according to NewsKF.
Take a look at the video (below) to see Obama's robot meet-and-greet.
