The mighty Transformer Optimus Prime might be able to save the universe, but who’s going to teach the Autobots to do the Hustle?
Enter HRP-2, a humanoid robot designed by Japanese researchers that is programmed to reproduce dance steps with the practiced grace of an electronic geisha. The 5-foot-tall (1.5-meter-tall) robot is seen here at a press demo at the University of Tokyo’s Institute of Industrial Science on January 12, 2005.
