I’m developping a worrying obsession with robots.

New Scientist has a couple of videos in his article about the 2004 Intelligent Robotics and Systems conference in Japan:

Sony’s QRIO roller-skating and Fujitsu’s HOAP-2 in a sumo-wrestling performance.

Older videos taken during the 2004 Robo-One contest, include a big robot KOing a smaller contestant and flexing its arms in celebration; and eight robots with various fighting techniques battling it out (via New Scientist again.)

It’s from last year, but this video demo of dancing Qrio is still so impressive.

p.s. Eh! Max, guess which one I want for x-mas?
