Ballroom Dance Robot

[4RJ]

Rolling around? Just wheels?

You guys don't understand how it works. The robot really knows dance moves.

This robot is a part of research of the effective human-robot coordination with physical interaction.

You can find articles about it on IEEE Xplore. The name of this robot is "Ms DanceR".

[FeygeleGoy]

I'd be more impressed if it could lead the dance. Hell, I'd be more impressed if it had feet that actually visibly moved!

As is, I've danced with a mop that was almost as impressive as this robot. ...And I still regret letting her get away.

[Kagami8]

Well, if THAT isn't the most random thing I've seen all day...

[oppositronic]

somewhat reminiscent of a person dancing with a mop

[spankydriscoll]

[catmanmovies]

WTF!?

[CoOkiTaL0v3]

He must be really lonely for dancing with a hott pink wannabe minnii mouse... 0.o wow, haha

[Devildogsbitch]

sure hope the more complex dances he knows...or that mousey bot bitch'll roll right over his damn feet!

[vundertowv]

Hey, numbskull, it's nanothoughts like this that show your limitations to seeing how this technology can be put to more practical uses.

[Pillowchii]

I dunno about the robot, but I'll take that hot Japanese guy, any day...

[HoLyCoUgAr]

It was awsome! There were little to no jerky sort of movements from the bot. It was beautiful!

[dbzchick]

HEY there are alot of sad wall-flowers watching this who would be ready to dish out thousands of dollars...

[FydaDelacroix]

Aww. He deserves better. :P

[Sithblade2244]

and when the dance is over you can take your dancing bot home because she doubles as a love bot too!!! why cant they do more than dancing with these things?

[GrannyJuJu]

What is she? Minnie Mouse with those ears on her head.

[Idunnohoo]

that might just be one saaaad little asian man, or a very briliant designer

[Punker316]

wow she's leading him

[hakulink]

Hmm. This dance wasn't too riveting...

[matty86]

uhh...ok...what are these things good for

[casperov]

that poor guy. he's that sure no actual person will dance with him? lol

[hiabex]

I saw an article about this a couple of years ago & was impressed by the concept. Now I've seen actual footage, I cannot help the feeling that a skilled dancer could achieve the same results with a shopping cart.

[rocknrolltime]

like wow cool

[bixlerscott]

Interesting...
