Fujitsu robot shows off goalkeeping skills
Share
At CEATEC in Japan it seems the machines have finally taken over, as several manufacturers brushed off their intelligent robots.
Fujitsu showed off two models – its miniature HOAP-2 humanoid robot, which impressed visitors with its footballing and dancing skills, and a cute mobile agent robot, MARON-1. Slightly more sinister was ALSOK’s GuardRobo. In development since 1982, the GuardRobo is already being used in Japan for patrolling and surveillance.
A red lamp on the robot’s shoulder flashes if it detects an intruder, while an alarm and camera images are relayed to a central control centre. We think that the GuardRobo looks a like a mechanical matron! Oo-er, missus.

I’m not sure, but I think he was trying to make a deal with Techdigest.com. Which I found pretty darn funny!!
May I have the video record you captured? I have seen this robot in action last week in ACM Expo 2004 in The Mines Exhibition Center, Malaysia. Its very cool!
I went to a science center in sapporo Japan, I recorded its movements, If you would like I can give the video that i recorded for having a link to my site .. .
