RobotErectus is ready for the World Cup

RobotErectus is a robot prototype of a soccer player which seems visibly ready for the soccer World Cup in South Africa :-) It shoots the ball, it can even pick the ball up from off the ground and throw it in, it jumps, it can move to the side and it can even bow to the crowd (surely after it's scored a goal). Ah Ah! This robot is fantastic. Okay, so it's not going to the World Cup this year but in the meantime it's preparing for RoboCup 2010. It's a creation of the Advanced Robotics and Intelligent Control Center (ARICC) at Singapore Polytechnic. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YD9vslz7lZg http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MzMJMITtf38 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qbJKFjgaY6Y http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q5Z0WgBw7Tg http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=18bFhtGlWTc via pp
