BeatBots: Socially Rhythmic Robots For Children

This is brilliant. The clip is of a robot named Keepon dancing to a track by Spoon. From the inventor's website..

'We are currently developing and studying dance-oriented nonverbal play with between children and the robot Keepon, designed and built by Hideki Kozima. Keepon is a small creature-like robot developed to perform emotional and attentional interaction with children. It has four degrees of freedom, a soft rubber skin, two cameras in its eyes, and a microphone in its nose'
