...fascinated with the brain--so he helped build one. The biophysics engineer and computer researcher led a team at the Advanced Telecommunications Research Institute International in Kyoto, Japan, that spent five years constructing a humanoid equipped with artificial intelligence. Completed in 2001, the 6-ft. 2-in., 175-lb. robot was named Dynamic Brain, or DB for short. Says Kawato: "We built an artificial brain hoping that it'll help us understand the real one."

Considering its curb weight (4,018 lbs.), it handles with a surprisingly nimble feel and features classy touches inside, like chrome-trim analog gauges and tortoiseshell accents on the door, steering wheel and shifter...
