Thursday, October 22nd, 2009Titan the Robot dances, sings, scares the bejeezus out of us (video)
Thursday, October 22nd, 2009
This plays out like the opening scene of an 80s sci-fi film: Eight foot tall robot appears in a shopping mall, sings “What a Wonderful World” and “My Way,” dances around a bit to a chorus of oohs and aahs from the audience, launches into a series of silly demo movements, and then… Well, we won’t spoil it for you. Let’s just say that at eight feet tall (and with tons of menace) we have to wonder if Titan the Robot could be stopped should some sort of cinematic “glitch” should cause him to “freak out” amongst the onlookers at Dubai’s GITEX 2009. Like most man-made disasters, this one starts innocently enough: with a show-stopping rendition of a Paul Anka tune. Curious? Peep it after the break. Just make sure you don’t get get close.

Believe it or not, a device-controlled car isn’t exactly fresh. In fact, we’ve actually seen a PSP control a Civic before Barack Obama was even a glimmer in the media’s eye. That said, we’re always willing to give credit where it’s due, and the iDriver app just might be the most impressive use of Apple’s smartphone… well, ever. As the name implies, this here app is able to control a heavily wired vehicle seemingly with ease — the accelerometer handles the steering, and two soft buttons on the screen handle braking and acceleration. We’d bother explaining more, but we know you’ve already clicked past the break to see the whole thing demonstrated on video. Right?
