This cute, lil’ Japanese robot is like a kid after too much candy, but somehow it’s got better balance than most of us after a long day of writing posts. Check out how it lands gracefully after some high jumps.
Aside from supposedly being the fastest runner and best jumper among similarly constructed robots, ROPID also responds to voice commands, with either action and speech. It’s so talented and cute that I don’t even suspect it could have an evil side, but I guess we’ll see about that when it turns into a Christmas must-have toy seasons from now.
