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

There's videos on this site:
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.
