As you know, robots have advanced a lot during the years, and now they can do all sorts things, and speaking of things that robots can do, did you know that robots could dance?

Although robots cannot dance as well as humans, we simply have to admire a student from Purdue University that has created a new robot called DARwIn-OP. As for the dancing part, this robot can play the game of Dance Dance Revolution, but not on its own. Creator of this project has designed a special pad for DARwIn-OP that allows it to move, but so far, this robot is being remotely controlled. This robot cannot keep its balance on its own, so it has to use a special bar that is placed in front of it, and due to lack of visual perception, this robot has to be remotely controlled at all times.

DARwIn-OP is great, but it's far from perfect, and we're hoping that we'll see an improved model that will be able to dance on its own someday in the future.
