This little bot featured on YouTube is the greatest dancer I have ever seen. The bot is called the Keepon. The little guy or gal is developed by Hideki Kozima and programmed to dance by Marek Michalowski. Currently Keepon looks like a research project.
I sure do hope that they realize they got a gold mine waiting on their hands. If the bot ever winds up being mass produced for sale… I am going to buy one! (I’m hoping that they can sell for $99 or less).
