I know I read about this guy within the last few weeks, anyone else remember it?
That cool & sinister face tracking hexapod shown in the Youtube video below (w/article link) just learned to draw :

..and it can also navigate pretty well :)
Saw the first video a month or so ago. It's movements are very cool in the first video when it's tracking the guy's face. What's great is that most robots would simple move the "head"/cameras around to track a face, which is really unnatural. This robot however, moves it's whole body - it will lean to get a better look, or shift it's weight a little in a nice, natural way.
It's great work.
