[dylan2009ist]

this comment is from the year 2011- we have better technolgy now. geart video

[JUKIO01]

the center is like iron man

[gbultimate]

sony should really bring the qrio back and have it connect to a computer so that you could program it to do tasks or dance!, and there should be some kind of website where you can upload and download qrio program's,

that would be awesome!!

[JUKIO01]

well, toyota purchased sonys robots devision, that is qrio and aibo. toyota has set up a robotics division now, and is focusing on building robots to be sold. so, you never know, they may bring back qrio and aibo in like a different version. but they have built a seprate model if you havent seen it already, just type in new toyota robot.

[JUKIO01]

toyota also promised an operating robot by 2010, thats next year! they will be mostly used for nursery, contruction work related, information booth(like the people that tell information and stuff). but you can purchase it if you have the money and make it work around the house, thats only if your rich and dont care about spending money on it.

[grip2010dc]

This is so real it looks like its got a personality or have i had one too many bears" want one"

[omglikegeezwtf]

Wow, very nice. And this was a few years back. just imagine what they've been working on in secret.

[Sonyoooo3]

My grandpa do this movement every mornig.

[Meerschweinchen99]

hahaha. it looks like its breathing heavily at the end. very life-like

[Olsteradamus]

That's amazing. Imagine what they don't show us.

[peterfaj]

they probably show everything..

[BigK8804]

This friggin robot dances better than I do!....that's a damn shame haha

[PREDAGOATOR]

Technosexual machine!!!)))))

[mysteriouspharaoh]

OH GOD ! So wonderful i love Qrio ^-^

[eyeofmodok]

Why is this called a dance video? Those are martial arts routines. Fighting robots next?

[goombaslayer]

wow your right

[WORLDClTlZEN]

You can dance using martial arts moves...it has music on and moving so it is dancing...

[theweepingangel]

Ultimate battlebots :p

[Vimonc]

plug your iPod into it and he will start dancin hahaha. good video 5 stars, i love it.

[AlyseTHECOOLKID]

Sony didn't bring it underground... they probably figured they'd never make the money they put in back. ANNND NOBODY HAS A PRIVATELY owned QRIO. There's one at a children's preschool learning center thaats being used for roboresearch though. It dances with kids. YOU FOOL!

[JUKIO01]

toyota purchased all of sonys robotics division, so we may see them again later in the future, but better versions of it. all of sony's engineers also is now working for toyota

[alphawav3]

QRIO is not dead you fools. Sony just brought the project underground.... Also, is it just me, or does no-one have a video of a privately owned QRIO?

[lpcrawling]

You consider "new" being 6 months after the fact? Sony stopped working on the Qrio in January of 2006.

[AshBradford]

This video was posted way over a year ago. Pay attention.

[DoubleX31]

That's not what he said though.

He said 6 months after Sony discontinued it. You posted this in Aug. 2006 when Qrio was discontinued in Jan. 2006 so this video was posted way past the actual date this "dance" took place.

[AshBradford]

You do realize that just because they aren't developing it, doesn't mean they don't still exists right? These were still used for promotion and advertising after the point where they were discontinued. They didn't burn the prototypes.

[rajeshj]

lol owned !

[secondjustice247]

hahaha he did get owned...LMFAO

[gen2600]

I think their entire purpose was to gain enough dexterity to steal their humans kidneys while they slept. They should all be blown to bits with shotguns.

[theholycows]

HAHAHA! That's funny. I think they're cute!

[bballtep30]

qrios r amazing i want one, sony should just stop working on them and sale them b-kus they`ll still make a lot of $, even if its not a finished product

[Ghostygurl]

I so want one of those!

[WTFyouhoee]

he dident booty pop LOL

[kaploy9]

I think they made the eyes to look like their watching you. Bill Gates probably has one in his closet.

[1tuffcookie72]

how cute...it started breathing heavily after it was done!!! omg i want one sooooooo bad

[Towkas]

Maybe too much realism? Too much realism can lead them that they can take over the world...

Too bad they got discontiuned. WAS the best humanoid robot.

[hakulink]

The lil' guy even breathed heavily after all that danceing. Awesome realism to these robots!

[theoneandonlynewt]

OMG, that was freaky.

Awsome, but I'm a bit scared. What were the robots meant to do anyways? Dance? Or was there something larger planned? Anyway, They're pretty awsome!

[hakulink]

Uh oh...good point...

[JustKita]

They're experimenting with robotics to create more fluid, humanlike robots. They'll probably be used as servants or go into the entertainment business.This would've made for an extreme marketing icon had they not scrapped it. Its charming look, extremely natural and fluid movements, and compact size would've made for an insane profit from rich families and by media. Heck, this could've been a major leap in movie animatronics had they finished it.

[nathancrumb]

I thought (even though this might never happen) it would be cool if Qrio danced to YMCA by the Village People...

[oksanaut]

OMG, these things are the cutest ever

[AruKun]

i kno eh?! too bad those mean peeple killed their race =( by that i mean they cancelled the project to make these

[Ranman2]

Really? Man that sucks, I really liked these little bots.
