There are a few vids of it dancing, very cool.

The robot was developed to study rhythm patterns in human interaction by interacting with children in the simplest manner possible.

Visit the above link for the whole story. Unfortunately not for sale (and I'm sure they would be prohibitively expensive if they were) but they are working on a simpler version for retail.

I could watch that little guy all day.

You show me a robot that can perform the following tasks:

Take out the garbage
Mow the lawn
Do the dishes
Do the laundry
Vaccuum & clean the house

And I'll mortgage my kidneys to get one.

it's called a wife...

oh fuck I'm dead...


anyway, Keepon is awesome, kinda like an uncreepy furby... The body language is really neat as it doesn't talk, and the face doesn't change expression, but it still can speak through body language...

LOL! The only person who hates doing this stuff more than me is Theresa. Nope, not happening. We split most of this stuff 50/50, or pay someone else to do it...

We have a roboraptor, but it's only good for scaring the shit out of the cat...

just one eye cost $2K...

the cost is prohibitive, but if they could get the cost down it would sell like fucking hotcakes...

EVERYONE I've had watch the vids all said the same thing... "I WANT ONE!"
