Title: Sony's new robot! (It dances, it catches, it jogs) Post by: ConfusedUs on 2003-12-19, 13:45 Anyone see those videos of Sony's new robot? It can dance, jog, catch, throw, recover from a fall, and more. This thing is just nifty as all hell.
Here's an article on the robots: http://www.cnn.com/2003/TECH/ptech/12/18/s...t.ap/index.html (http://www.cnn.com/2003/TECH/ptech/12/18/sony.robot.ap/index.html) There's videos on this site: http://pc.watch.impress.co.jp/docs/2003/1218/sony.htm (http://pc.watch.impress.co.jp/docs/2003/1218/sony.htm) They're about 2/3rds of the way down, under the block of pictures. The site's in japanese, but the links aren't hard to find. The last video of the robots dancing is impressive, but the one where it winds up and pitches a nerf ball just like a pro baseball pitcher just wow'd me. Title: Re: Sony's new robot!
