So, the
Nao (pronounced 'now') is a type of medium-sized humanoid robot, which is programmable and in fact has been mentioned here before in a roundabout way - it's used at the Robot Football World Cup in the 'standard platform' league, so you don't design the robot but you have to program it to play intelligently. They're about two feet tall, and look almost completely like you would expect a robot to do.
The big news is (I use the word 'news' in the loosest sense; it's news to me) that Nao robots have now joined the ranks of
professionals,
prison inmates,
flashmob participants,
sparkly vampire fans and
this house as part of the set of things that have done Michael Jackson's Thriller dance. Video below.
Although if you ask me,
this video is FAR, far scarier.
