Man, that is just weird.

And the favicon for this thread is the NASA logo. :Q

Edit: Back to the Anandtech "A".

Edit 2: Oh, because of the video link. I'm tired.

It's basically an attempt to create "robot skin". It can sence something comming close to it and react appropriately. I think using a balerina was a poor choice, but it demonstrates how the robot is able to stay our of her way.

Rather typical design for the most part.
Now if they had a stripper dancing around it, that's another story.

I worked for that guy Lumelsky for a while when I started grad school. I remember seeing that robotic arm sitting in his lab space... Smart guy, but kind of an ahole.
