Speecys SPC-101C Humanoid Robot: A First Look (Video)

We spent most of the afternoon and early evening at the Speecys labs here in the Shibuya district of Tokyo, and thanks to the kindness, and openness, of Kasuga-san, the Speecys founder, we came away with a wealth of information, and a totally new perspective on how humanoid robotics is likely to evolve over the next few years.

We'll need quite a few posts, over the next week or two, to explain why this new robot is so exciting, and its promise for the future. But, we do want to share a brief video (see below) to give you a taste for the robot's ability.

Enjoy-

Great body movement; it may be the best dancing I've seen yet (if you leave out the mega-class and far more expensive robots like QRIO). Welcome to the start of "Robot Idol", the dance contest. :)
