Kung Fu robots!


Humanoid robots capable of performing somersaults and complex martial arts moves were demonstrated at CEATEC in Tokyo on Saturday.

Morph3 (above), is 30-centimetres tall, and can perform back flips and karate moves thanks to 138 pressure sensors, 30 different onboard motors and 14 computer processors.

Also on display was Fujitsu's HOAP-2. The little droid can perform moves from the Chinese martial art taijiquan, as well as Japanese Sumo wrestling stances.
