Mini Keepon Takes It Down A Notch

Writing by Evan Ackerman on Monday, 9 of November , 2009 at 1:12 am

Just because a real Keepon is too expensive for anyone to afford doesn’t mean that it’s not possible to make one for yourself, and it doesn’t even have to be (technically) edible. Limitless Boredom created their very own astonishingly similar DIY Keepon out of a bunch of R/C helicopter parts, CrabFu style. Seriously, it’s such a good reproduction that it makes me wonder where that $30k really goes…

By way of comparison, after the jump you can watch a video of a pair of Keepons dancing with HOAP-3 at the ICRA ‘08 Human-Robot Interaction Challenge.

One part of the $30k might be the cameras, microphones and software (face recognition and stuff). Just guessing.
Cheers, Arne
