Keepon Robot on the History Channel (Video)
Keepon, that incredibly cute yellow dancing, and interacting, robot was featured in an episode of “The Works” on the History Channel, hosted by Dan Wilson. The Keepon segment focuses on the robots unique ability to engage with children with social development disorders like autism. and is just a part of the robot filled episode. It’s well worth watching even if some of you may have seen it before.

Somethings Never Change, Even For Robots (Video)
It’s easy to imagine that some time in the not too distant future humanoid robots will be perfected to the point that human/robot relationships are commonplace.
But, robots are created by humans and “in their creator’s image”, to a large extent. So, what makes us think that robots might make better relationship partners than their human counterparts, especially since they are very likely to take on the same strengths and weaknesses that haunt their creators.

MANOI Robot Builders Take Breakdancing to the Next Level (Video)
We’ve often joked about programming our MANOI AT01 humanoid robot to dance like Michael Jackson, knowing full well that it would be almost impossible.
However, two well known robot guru’s here, Dr. GIY and Okamoto-san, put their heads (and hearts) together to create a highly tuned, and no doubt very expensive, MANOI hybrid that can really wail on the dance floor (video below).
They named their new robot “MANOI GO!”, which we’re guessing is a play on words. Of course, the meaning of “Go!” in English is obvious. In Japanese, “Go!” also represents the number 5, and could indicate that the robot costs at least 4X the standard model, which wouldn’t be surprising if they upgraded all the critical servos with the top of the line, high torque, Kondo KRS series.
There are also rumors going around about a major debut for this awesome bot. Stay tuned….
