The robot that's a dancing queen

One day robots will rule us. But until they do, we have to make do with cool little robo slaves like Sega-Hasbro's Ampbot.

Just over two feet tall, he has an iPod cradle on his back for carrying your tunes about. He'll play them through his stereo speakers, with a total power of 12W.

Pretty impressive, for a small guy.

He'll dance along to the songs too, so better start making a robot-themed playlist.

And he'll also chase you around the house, according to the maker. Freaky.

This adorable little teddy bear is nothing less than a fully equipped GPS guidance system for your car. In fact, he is more than fully equipped. He’s borderline over equipped. In addition to providing verbal directions, the one foot tall robot has six motorized joints in his head and neck which allow him to gesture which direction to turn while he’s talking to you. If you stroke his head, he’ll tell you about any interesting things nearby, like landmarks.
