The world's first ballroom-dancing robot is set to take to the floor for its
first public performance this week at the World Expo 2005 in Aichi, Japan.
Developed by scientists at Tokhuro University, the Partner Ballroom Dance
Robot (PBDR) is able to predict the steps of a human partner based on body
movement and react accordingly on its three wheels.
The 1.65 meter robot has a female face, wears a ballgown and comes in bright
pink and pastel blue plastic. A male version is also being developed.
