robots in disguise
-
02-10-2001 12:50am#1ATUKO, a japanese company has just announced the world's first dance robot called ASTAR-NO1.
it comes equipped with 2 high-end stereo mics, 566mhz RISC processor which allows it to respond any kind of audio input. instantly the sound is processed and the little guy dances for you (disco,funk,rock,hip-hop,break-dance). madness!!! if you also get another 4 of them toghether, as if by magic they form a choreographed dance routine depending on the type of music played.Specs

ASTAR goes into stand-by mode after 120 mins to avoid overheating which could mean some overclocking and you'll have him dancing to drum n bass with no sweat. i want one, but it comes a bit on a pricey side @ $15,000 and a limited number of 50 for 2001/2002.
