Pretty impressive in my opinion, especially considering that I can't even do that well on skates. <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' />

i bet you can't rollerskate that slow either.

Gwahir · October 2004

I really don't find that all that impressive...

I agree, you're an idiot <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/wow.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wow.gif' />

Please tell me what I just saw.

And ignore the pointless flame.

for some reason i could only hear the terminator theme music in my head while watching that

jumpingjoda · October 2004

Nice vid ^__^
Um yeah, just wanted to report that i have made the rotating chief... look at sig.

Cold_NiTe · October 2004

I still don't understand what this robot is, where it came from and why anyone would spend so much money on something like that. I mean, at that level of articulation... It has to be costly.

BTW Now I'm almost as cool as jumpingjoda.

jumpingjoda · October 2004

I really liked how the robot rolled first time on the table, i thought this is some joke video and that this poor thing will fall down <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/biggrin-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin-fix.gif' />.

btw nite, i got space between those 2 images. You lose :>

Not anymore joda!

Seriously though, is this fake or is this real. What is this darned robot? And why would anyone find that practical. That is like paying $1799 for a robotic vacuum cleaner from sweden. Oh wait...

Thansal · October 2004

night, it is the Qrio, a japanese humanoid robot project.

there is also a video out ther (much cooler in my mind) of a few of them doing a traditional Japanese dance.

<s>How do you know I was the one who asked that, and not, jumping joda?</s>

Erm,
I think I remember that video now that you mention it. It may be on the forums. I'm gonna look again.

Thansal · October 2004

just google qrio or put it in the forum search function

oh, and I know it was you B/C YOUR NAME IS DIFFERENT!

AHA!

Curses, foiled again.

I'll get you yet Inspector Gadget.

----------------------------
Seriously though, if they made that thing run, they are risking loads of money. That and with servos that intricate, who knows how slow it has to move to have that kind of articulation.
