Mark Roth has written a kind article about us in the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette for his “Thinkers” series.
Marek Michalowski’s favorite robot looks like an oversized Easter peep that can bust some moves.
His name is Keepon, and he is best known as the star of a YouTube video — dancing to an infectious tune by the rock group Spoon — that has been viewed more than 2 million times.
But Keepon is much more than a disco robot.
In the hands of Mr. Michalowski, a Ph.D. student in robotics at Carnegie Mellon University, and his mentor, Hideki Kozima of Miyagi University in Japan, Keepon is also being used to study how children interact socially, and whether the robot might particularly be able to help children with autism.
It‘s quiet in here! Why not leave a response?
