iPhone Robot with arms and legs!

Some developers are doing bizarre things with their iPhones. This time, iPhones have now arms and legs!

The body of the robot — named “Robochan” — consists of a Kondo KHR-2HV humanoid. The iPhone head, which attaches to the body via the dock connector, displays various facial expressions while functioning as the controller. Using Robochan’s iPhone interface, the user can program it to function as an alarm clock, dance to music, and perform other moves based on user interaction.

Incidentally, Robochan’s leek-spinning dance (and the infectious music) is a reference to the old Loituma Girl Internet meme, which began as a simple Flash animation showing a Bleach anime character (Orihime Inoue) twirling a leek to the traditional Finnish folk song “Ievan Polkka.”

The thing that really made me laugh were the faces displayed in the iPhone….I wonder what things We will watch in the future next?
