Doing the disco-pop hustle…. dance choreography with an amazing range of motion, including claps, hops, sumo poses, handstands, and cartwheels (the robot nearest me is doing a fast one).

Seen at RobonNexus today.

  1. Any idea how long thier batteries will keep them untethered?

  2. Very interesting. Could you please add to your description more information about this event, and the robots? Thanks!

  3. Oddwick: I could not find anything in English on it… Maybe you can find something, or someone can translate from the German or Japanese links below.

    Mr. P: It’s a RoboNova-1 from HiTec RCD.

    Dancing videos from Japan.
    Video 1: graceful synchrony of movement
    Video 2: Racking itself by doing the splits

    Video 4: One-arm push-up and face-plant
    Video 5: Gorilla chest thump gestures
