Robot Keeps Tradition Alive
Tuesday, January 22nd, 2008You can teach a new dog old tricks.
In Japan, robots are sweeping in to save the dying art of…wait for it…traditional dancing! As children in this modern day lose touch with tradition all over the world, who would of thought that technology, the popularly named culprit of this loss, would be a source of inspiration. [...]
