Dancing Japanese Robots! How fin de siècle! All that technology put in the service of dance, and for the pure pleasure of the audience. I love it! Forget warfare and servants, bring on the Robie Chorus Lines-
Amazing Dancing Japanese Robots
It might be fake, certainly, the nomer "Japanese scientists" a front. Maybe they aren't robots but people dressed up. Except that I find the timing when all four are making the same movements suspiciously mechanical. Could people be such exact replicas of each other? Be that as it may, it could be a spoof of Japanese science students who are dressed up as robots and are teasing us through UTube. I don't know about you, but sometimes it's fun being gullible.
Now I know if I had a robot I'd want him to dance for me at all hours... morning coffee and a pirouette please. A little can-can with the Chili Rellenos. A Foxtrot with the custard tart.
:-)
Sheath of feeling. Words groping to touch air.

I'm pretty sure they are real Brenda :)
ReplyDeleteI used to work for the BBC and we went to Japan (the programme, sadly not me) and filmed the P1 and P2 humanoid walking robots that Honda were working on. These are further developments of those.
I actually found it cute that they weren't always exactly in sink- engineering in the imprecision of human movement was one of the things Honda were very keen on.
Thanks for sharing :)
Thanks, Stray. I thought they were real, but sent the link through an email group and the response was that they were fake. It would take some highly trained performance artists to mimic such a dance, surely. I thoroughly enjoyed the dancing robots, and the video opened up possibilities I hadn't considered... :-)
ReplyDeleteGreat to hear from you, luv. (And I do read you, I do, I do, just haven't commented too much lately.)
