Japanese Robot Preserves Traditional Dance
A $365,000, five-foot-tall humanoid industrial construction robot named HRP-2 Promet has been programmed to perform traditional Japanese dance - thereby preserving it for posterity, and serving as a "guardian of cultural heritage".
The anime-esque humanoid robot was created in 2003 by Japan's National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology and Kawada Industries. (It can reportedly also drive a car.)

I would love to see a video of the robot in action. I have found tons of pictures on the web but no video.
