Found these while surfing today. They're robots made by Sony, and stand about 2 feet tall. Extremely agile, smooth and gracefull. Doubt they're more than just prototypes, but still amazing to watch.
They have stereo vision, can recognize faces, and their AI seems to be developing crude emotions already. If it kicks a ball to you and you don't return the favor it'll ignore you when you want something else from it. Kinda like it snubs you back! Spooky. There are a few video clips of them throwing a ball, running (ie, both feet in the air at once) and dancing. Far better dancers than me!
If you have kids do not show them these videos!
