Robot grooves in new Spoon video

I introduced you to Keepon the Robot last April. Inventors Marek Michalowski of Carnegie Mellon University and Hideki Kozima of Japan's National Institute of Communications Technology programmed Keepon to react to stimuli through body language. Keepon "extracts extract the pulse of rhythm from music and move its silicone body in time", which was demonstrated in this demo video of Keepon grooving to a song by Spoon. The little guy's popularity has taken off, as he's the star of Spoon's new video for "Don't You Evah", along with his programmer Hideki Kozima.
