Merry Christmas (Or Whatever) From BotJunkie

Writing by Evan Ackerman on Friday, 25 of December , 2009 at 2:53 am

Happy holidays from all of us here at BotJunkie. Here’s hoping your robots get all kinds of cool upgrades this year, and if you’re very lucky, you might even get something as well. Like parts to build more robots.

Or money for parts to build more robots.

Or other things that you can sell for money for parts to build more robots.

If you don’t get any of that stuff, don’t be sad, you can still enjoy these holiday robot videos, and that will make everything better.

Let’s start off with a robot built by a student at Taku Ayumi Yawata high school in Japan playing Jingle Bells, via Robot Watch:

Next we have a Toyota Partner Robot playing (actually playing) a Christmas Medley on the trumpet, via GetRobo:

Here’s RobotGrrl’s MANOI robot putting on a “Holiday Extravaganza…” Be sure and check out the training, the warm-up, and RobotGrrl’s blog.

And finally, we have a team of robots from RoboBuilder performing a Christmas themed synchronized dance routine for some kind of Korean TV game show where the audience ultimately has to try and emulate the robots’ moves… Thanks to Robots Dreams for this one:

And as for me, I’m off to go help my Roomba open her presents. I’m pretty sure she didn’t get me anything this year (besides cleaner carpets), but that’s okay, ’cause I have another year of awesome robot news to look forward to, and that’s all the presents I could ever want.

Besides a Keepon, of course.

Hint hint. :)
