Several months ago, a little robot did a little dance and captured the hearts of the Internets. He was a very sophisticated robot, but didn't look like the typical Transformer-inspired, back-handspring-performing models coming out of Japan that make the rounds at gadget sites. This robot was cute. Very cute. His name is Keepon, and he's like a little, yellow, mouthless snowman and baby chick rolled into one. With googly-eyes that don't google. His signature anthropomorphic skill: dancing.
