However, the population at large isn&#8217;t trained in sign language, making life even more difficult. That is, until these two students from the University of Washington came along. &#160; Sophomores Navid Azodi and Thomas Pryor won the Lemelson-MIT Student Prize for creating [&#8230;]]]></description>

Dubbed Kodomoroid and Otonaroid, the two robots developed by Professor Hirosho Ishiguro of Osaka University look scarily human, yet have decent anchoring skills.

Inside the dancing blob are 4 motors that control its side-to-side and forward and back head bobbing, the rotation, and the up and down motion as Keepon interacts with people.
