Okay, so I knew it wouldn’t take long before I had to post this.. back in 2007 I saw this video through New Scientist and melted. This robot, Keepon, was to undertake the interesting task of helping to identify the “underlying rhythm in human communications” in an attempt to help robots interact in more natural ways. However, it sure is cute and bouncey. It was also voted as one of the top ten robots last decade (more of these robots to come in the year, as it is a great list!).
