I want one of these little robots really badly, BUT, I can also see how they’d be used for their intended purpose, so it also cool in a more geeky kinda way.
Happenin’ little tune by Spoons, too.
From the site: We are currently developing and studying dance-oriented nonverbal play with between children and the robot Keepon, designed and built by Hideki Kozima. Keepon is a small creature-like robot developed to perform emotional and attentional interaction with children. It has four degrees of freedom, a soft rubber skin, two cameras in its eyes, and a microphone in its nose.
