Its cute, but kinda scares me at the same time. Ya know, kinda like the Furby's where you weren't sure if they were going to come alive and kill you in your sleep.

I also don't have sound at work so I can't get the full effect. lol

Scapegoat · 12-08-2008, 04:06 PM

can you fit an fleshlight around that???

pearl · 12-08-2008, 04:07 PM

Seriously I would take that every where with me. I wonder if interacts with like questions too not just dancing. I think its awesome.

That thing is nuts. There is a ton of axis's for movement there. And the movement is very fluid and human like.

Pretty crazy

I'd rather have the honda robot ASIMO though..

You know that ****er would be reliable. Prob get stolen though.

i doubt the keepon would get old. id bring it to work and put it on my desk. i could probably watch it dance and look at me for hours haha

OPZ · 12-08-2008, 07:17 PM

I would assume it would also interact with things such as if someone walked up to you, it would look at them and react.

Man, this stuffs freaky...but cool. Just not worth 30k cool...

you quoted only the bottom of my post, did you even read the rest? this robot is not supposed to be fun and/or make a profit. it was designed to help people.

Interview with the creator of Keepon

Children-robot interaction: a pilot study in autism therapy

That's why i said i'd pay a million for it if it helped even a little bit. they're only considering making a cheaper version of it after realizing that desk-jockeys would think it cute and buy it to take to work or something. it wasn't designed to be a super modern version of that dancing flower or a furby.

Vr-4-Life · 12-09-2008, 12:55 PM

i just read that they plan to put just a dancing model into production.. ill get one

That's awesome if it really does help autistic kids...
