Giant Robot walks you around

[Rob Williams]

Robots continue to get weirder. Here is one that consists of a walking robot, and a chair. You sit in the chair, and tell it where to go.

It looks good so far, but what they really need to do is figure out how to get the legs folded up underneath so it can sit on the ground as a regular chair. Then, when your friend sits down, you hit a button on the remote control and suddenly he’s 6 feet in the air and terrified on a walking chairbot.

My favorite comment on the video: "ZOMG GUNDAMZ"

I'll be impressed when they demo it with DDRMax2.

Someone left the comment:

In Soviet Russia, chair robots you. I laughed for a while at that. Without guns, that thing is all at once, inviting disaster when it falls on your kid when you are trying to pick her up in the damned thing as well as enabling society to continue to be lazy.

But....... can it DDR? I'll take 2!

The leg movement looks so human. It's a like a person trying to walk quietly.

Yeah, at first I thought it might be a hoax with some hunched over dude walking around.
