The Singing Plant

This is kind of like that bush from the Three Amigos. It’s basically a plant wired up to a theremin. Using custom-designed software (obviously, they didn’t have MySingingPlant 2.5 for OS X available to them), the plant triggers various samples based. That’s not all, sensors detect when people are near the plant so a little…

Manoi, Japanese Athlete Humanoid

Manoi sounds like one of Godzilla’s foes, but is actually a 1/5 scale athlete humanoid that looks like a character from a 1960s cartoon. The company behind this specializes in RC cars, and this is an extension of that business. The idea is that you (if you’re Japanese) will buy a Manoi and enter it…

Eighties Hi-Fi Transformer

My 1980s Hi-Fi memories go back to my pops scalding me for touching his beloved Zenith. Luckily some Japanese are turning my 80s Hi-Fi frown upside down with this bad-ass robot built entirely from stereo components. This bot has got it all: tape decks, reel-to-reel, equalizers, and record players. It even includes the nostalgic smoked…

iDog in Color for Holidays

Here’s yet another animal-shaped robot looking thing that was hopefully made for children (but we know adults are scooping up). The Sega iDog is your usual robopet that reacts “emotionally” to anyone touching its sensors but it also comes with a built-in MP3 line-in jack for an MP3 player. The big news, however, is that…

NASA’s Dancing Space Penis

I love NASA. Space travel++. So they invented a skin that helps robots stay out of the way of humans. Good. So they show it off by playing music from Behind the Green Door and having some woman dance around it in tights. Oh, and the robot they used looks like a penis. So we’re…

Korean Govt. Funds Smart Robot Program

Nobody can deny that Korea is usually ahead of its time when it comes to technology and science, so it’s not odd to hear that the country’s Ministry of Information and Communication have announced that it will be launching what is called an “intelligent service robot” program to pump up robotic development for the public.…

Destroy That 5 O’ Clock Shadow – Gundam Style

I’ve always been more of a Macross loser guy than a Gundam guy, but this I can’t pass up. As an avid shaver, I’d like to have more fun while shaving since my beard grows back about 5 minutes after I finish up. That’s why KAI has come out with this gorgeous looking Gundam razor.…
