- danxmason, on 10/23/2009, -1/+114This is obviously a human in a robot suit.
1. Way too many microbalancing adjustments that only a human could do
2. It doesnt make any noise when it moves its arms
3. There is a huge reflective mirror (obviously a 2 way mirror) on its chest so the guy can see out of it - mogebier, on 10/22/2009, -2/+67I would flee in terror if I saw that thing.
They made it do cute things so people around wouldn't crap their pants. - PowderedToasty, on 10/23/2009, -0/+53Does not exist yet. That's a dude in a costume.
- Lucas123, on 10/23/2009, -2/+44But you've got to admit, its still pretty cool. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Titan_the_Robot
http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/article13867 ... - kylescousin, on 10/22/2009, -0/+34You are an incredible robot, Titan.
I was just wondering... are you by chance a... pleasure model? - FaithclubDotNet, on 10/23/2009, -0/+33Whats worse than a robot trying to kill you?
One who's singing and dancing as he does it. - mattypantsmaxx, on 10/22/2009, -1/+32obligatory skynet quip
- DeadliestSnatch, on 10/22/2009, -1/+25The end is nigh...
- DeadFox1, on 10/23/2009, -0/+20http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Titan_the_Robot
- ippey, on 10/23/2009, -0/+16It looks like the damn ABC bot from Judge Dredd.
- Sabin8, on 10/23/2009, -0/+12Although I was disappointed when I figured out 10 seconds into the video that it's just a dude in a robot suit, I quickly realized that the suit is still pretty ***** bad-ass even though it may not be an actual robot.
- Chicory, on 10/23/2009, -0/+10I think I'm more horrified by it doing cute things.
- eShinn, on 10/23/2009, -4/+12There's a freakin' guy in the suit. Sees through the one-way glass on the chest. Most apparent in the back of the legs.
Fail - Eyght, on 10/23/2009, -0/+8Hey Janelle, what's wrong with Wolfie? I can hear him barking.
- Xaevier, on 10/23/2009, -1/+9Dugg for the Johnny Bravo quotes
- termerjur, on 10/23/2009, -1/+8Though these simulated ominous anthropomorphic elements are technically distracting (the controller inside enhances this) these same elements highlight a more serious trend:

oldie but goodie:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q3C5sc8b3xM - termerjur, on 10/23/2009, -3/+10That, dear humans, is no mere toy concept.
Be careful what you wish for...and manifest. - esquilax, on 10/23/2009, -0/+7A person in a robot suit singing a swing jazz version of Oasis' Wonderwall.
THAT IS NOT WHAT COOL IS. - paintb4707, on 10/23/2009, -0/+7It would be the best halloween costume ever.
- Wiggle987, on 10/23/2009, -0/+6Saw that guy at the Milton Keynes Xcite! centre a year or go or so, was pretty funny, especially when it walked up to a little kid, looked down and shouted BLARGH, very funny seeing a 4 year old kid screaming in terror.
- dgendreau, on 10/23/2009, -0/+6Oh my god. Now I'm going to have a nightmare of that thing singing New York, New York while ripping my arms off.
- BaphClass, on 10/23/2009, -0/+6That's not a Titan. Imperator class or GTFO.
- mobislink, on 10/23/2009, -0/+6The audience had very little reaction. They seem to be more interested in taking video and pictures. Sometimes it is good to put down the camera and enjoy the experience.
- bwolf180, on 10/23/2009, -0/+6but if the humans are the robots ....that means were going to take over ourselves
- gramathy, on 10/23/2009, -0/+5Dugg for Jonny Bravo quoting.
It just keeps gettin' weirder and weirder.... - Antibland, on 10/23/2009, -0/+5Laugh it up while you can; we'll be fighting these things in 10 years.
- sangjmoon, on 10/23/2009, -0/+4You can hire it yourself: http://www.cyberstein.co.uk/
- inactive, on 10/23/2009, -0/+4All it apparently can do is switch on and off music.
- jakobrowning, on 10/23/2009, -1/+5Did they have to give it such a creepy skull-head. I wouldn't want that thing watching my kids.
PRESENT HALL PASS!!! - rolls20s, on 10/23/2009, -0/+4I, for one, welcome our new singing, dancing human-robot overlords.
- PowderedToasty, on 10/23/2009, -0/+4You are right though. While this might be a fake robot, real robots like this aren't that far off. It was pretty scary to see that thing before realizing it wasn't real. A lot is going to change when things like this become reality.
- Mpwns, on 10/23/2009, -0/+4should have danced to daft's robot rock. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rBbasXXtrXw
- whatupdoc18, on 10/23/2009, -0/+3frakin' cylon.
- valis, on 10/23/2009, -0/+3Obviously there is a man inside. The breast plate is a two-way mirror and in some lighting you can see the man inside. Even so, it's an impressive performance - if somewhat corny and weird.
- KingKeys, on 10/23/2009, -0/+3Yeah, I'm sure if it were real, Honda would certainly be ***** their pants.
Poor little Asimov just couldn't compare... - R3publican, on 10/23/2009, -0/+3You have 15 seconds to comply.
- Sabin8, on 10/23/2009, -0/+3Yeah although you would probably clear out every party you try attending plus you may have SWAT called on you on numerous occasions. Still badass though.
- TwwIX, on 10/23/2009, -0/+3ABC warrior: Status?
Rico: Bodyguard.
ABC warrior: Commander?
Rico: Rico.
ABC warrior: Mission?
Rico: We're going to war.
ABC warrior: [eagerly] Warrr... - bwolf180, on 10/23/2009, -1/+4***** you
- TwwIX, on 10/23/2009, -0/+3That's what it wants you to think.
- MarshDugg, on 10/23/2009, -0/+2I'm curious how much the human controls from inside. Is he in control of the hands or is are the hands and the mouth all preprogrammed? It looks like the right hand does a lot. Perhaps he's a puppeteer inside controlling the mouth as well. Maybe it's just a big suit with robotic sounds programmed into it's joint movements. While someone inside controls the head and right hand.
- Bobski, on 10/23/2009, -0/+2Nice costume.
- Dinner, on 10/23/2009, -0/+2Especially if it can prance around quoting Austin Powers!!
- crappish, on 10/23/2009, -0/+2If you look closely you can see black "pipes" leading from sides of the torso to the hands, connecting just above elbow joints. I'd say the hands are passed through there. And I'd say the puppeteer is outside the suit. On another video you could see a guy with a control board full of buttons.
- ThecNiqueMan, on 10/23/2009, -0/+2Is that JC Denton at 50 seconds?
- Jake7732, on 10/23/2009, -1/+3First 10 seconds was like holy ***** holy ***** holy ***** were all gonna die.
Then realized wow fat guy in a little coat. - theOster, on 10/23/2009, -0/+2*really *****
- zer0mass, on 10/23/2009, -0/+1Edited
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Titan_the_Robot - Atario, on 10/31/2009, -0/+1Wake me when they have Titan Maximum.
- Rammat2, on 10/23/2009, -1/+2If it starts speaking with an Austrian accent, I'm not voting for it if it runs for Governor.
