The Acroban Humanoid Project

Acroban is a lightweight compliant humanoid robot capable of robust semi-passive dynamic locomotion, life-like movements, and offers the possibility of a new kind of playful physical human-robot interaction. We developped this platform to explore how morphological constraints can simplify the developmental acquisition of complex sensorimotor skills, as well as to explore novel kinds of human-robot interaction.

Touch screen using Water.

It is truly awesome, the Minamo by Taichi Inoue (Minaemo means "Surface Water" in Japanese). By putting a monitor under the tank, you will control the mouse pointer on the water surface, it is so cool.
