China makes robot...

The man asked, 'You don't believe it, do you?'

I made a gesture.

He paused and continued, 'Not the kind of robots seen in Japan, say, android, but a kind of natural... evolution. That by having a body proper, no matter it's a clay doll or metal shell, it works. Do you understand what I mean?'

I shook my head, 'No, I don't. Do you mean a doll made from clay and sand can be a robot, that can move?' I showed disbelief.

'Yeah, a clay doll, that's what I'm making.'

'A mascot of clay doll?'

He was delighted, 'Why not?'
