You’ve been served…by a robot
We’ve seen talking robots, walking robots, robots that make tea, robots that throw cans of beer, and robots that kill, but this certainly has to be the cutest robot of them all.
Keepon (pronounced “kee-pong”) from those robot design masters at Carnegie Mellon is designed to not only find the beat but also move in rhythm to any music or sound. Looking like a squishy, yellow snowman, you have to admit this little guy could charm the pants off even the hardest-hearted robot hater. Just take a look at it be-bopping to a song from Spoon.
If you had an army of Keepons all bopping to a song, you could literally hypnotize the population. Broadcast that by satellite to TVs across the world, then send in the warrior robots and the human race could be enslaved in robot bondage without much of a fight at all. The cutest robots are the most dangerous robots of them all.
