My friend robotify goes to school with the guy who built this robot. Apparently:
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.
The damn thing has better moves than me, by a long shot … and it looks happier too.
I would like a small, creature like robot, please.
