Just in time for festivous...

Dec. 14 - A Japanese company unveils its latest robot invention... a mechanical Samurai warrior. Paul Chapman reports.

The robot, named Kiyomori after a 12th century general, is the latest humanoid creation from TMSUK.

There are no plans yet to put it on sale to the general public but one day the firm hopes it will be as ubiquitous as cars or electronic appliances in which Japan already leads the world.

Perhaps we need to dust off those old A-bombs and teach the lesson again.
