anyone else heard of it?

Kinda reminds me of that robot at Disney Land, I was a little kid at the time and I had fears about it coming down the channel tunnel to get me... :(

I watched that earlier. Very odd.

I actually think it's really, really cool. Obama's typical body language gestures were captured with reasonable accuracy.

The title makes me think of the name "Robama"

*insert quirky conservative comment about Obama being over hyped here*

However, I really like the way the motion is conducted, it looks amazingly smooth rather than all clunky like I've seen most animatronics do.

The animation is amazingly smooth, and it acts just like him. It might even take Obama's place and become the first african-american-robot-president.

Technology these days.

Walt Disney World unveils incredibly scary, robotic version of President Obama

I lol'd like crazy from that. and when I saw the video I lol'd harder.

Its already better than the real thing. Look, No teleprompter!

Looks like he crawled right out of Uncanny Valley

 

[Miyosaki]

the cool thing about this is that before you know it we will have robots fighting wars *shot*

but the fact that the robots movements were near realistic is freaky.

Will the mindless fanaticism never cease?

I swear...
