Six versions of ICub exist in laboratories across Europe, where scientists are painstakingly tweaking its electronic brain to make it capable of learning, just like a human child and hoping it will learn how to adapt its behaviour to changing circumstances, offering new insights into the development of human consciousness.

    "We will be opening stores in Mexico this year," Anderson told Reuters at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas.

    Anderson declined to give details on when and where the stores would open.

    Separately, Anderson declined to comment when asked if Best Buy was in talks to buy Carphone Warehouse (CPW.L), Europe's largest independent mobile phone retailer. Best Buy in September revealed that it had bought a 3 percent stake in the company.
