While I certain find the headline distasteful, as well as the author's insistence on pushing the reader away from the programming and optics of the robot, and towards the seedy side, you have to admire the guy's abilities. Assuming all of the demonstrations in the video are real, then this is a very impressive piece of work.
I worked a little with A.I. back in the 90s when computers were just getting fast enough to make a difference (worked on a 'smart' search engine for searching databases). I have since tried to keep up (when I can) with the news coming from that part of science. The progress they are making is truly amazing, but this it pretty advanced. A few minutes into the video he holds up a hand written math equation that she solves almost instantly. Later she recognizes objects just by looking at them.
