NAO Robot Dances to Grateful Dead with Children Autonomously

The kids LOVE dancing with NAO.

This was an early development stage of the autonomous dancer.
It seems to be dancing better than the later versions... but it is only moving the arms at this point. Leg movements are merely a side effect of the arm positioning goals.

Great.

I like when the robot moves his hips.

@TheAmazel I believe that at this state, I was not sending movement goals to the hips, so the hip movement was a result of the goal positions for the arm effectors. I think that I should revert the current version to always only send either hip goals or arm goals. The current version sends a mixture of both which makes the movement kind of funny sometimes (but sometimes the kind of funny is really cool so...)
