MORE: concept, gadgets, robots

Keepon is a robot project by Marek Michalowski of Carnegie Mellon to create a socially rhythmic robot that detects beats and dances to them. Sadly, this little dude dances better than I ever will in my entire life. Usually I just get on my back and spin like a Ninja Turtle. The ladies love it. And by love it I mean they point and laugh. And sometimes cry.
