The Coolest Toy You Can’t Buy Yet, The Keepon

The Keepon is one amazing dancer. It can follow a beat perfectly. The name must come from the phrase keep on dancing!

It’s super cool but I have bad news for you, you can’t buy it yet. The Keepon was developed by Carnegie Mellon’s Marek Michalowski and Hideki Kozima of Japan’s National Institute of Communications Technology, the little yellow bot uses a gimbal-based system to move through a full range of motions and is able to react to visual stimulation in addition to music thanks to some built-in cameras.
