Not sure if this is the appropriate section, but it's as close as I can get to a proper forum section, since it involves a console accessory.

Controlling a robot using Kinect:

Demonstration of the program for controlling robot (without Kinect) - from smart phone or cockpit like setup:

Their homepage: http://vsido.uijin.com/ (not in English though)

The robot used is a hobbyist robot kit dressed to look somewhat like a Gundam mech – an actual robotic Gundam toy/model cannot be too far off.

The software used is called V-Sido. Particularly impressive is the fact that the robot independently maintains its balance rather than falling over in certain postures…
 
Now if we could just get developers to make some damn games this responsive for the kinect, mine wouldnt be sitting on a shelf collecting dust..

Thats pretty slick..
 
Can it be true?????????????? GOD did hear my prayers as a child when I was crying about wanting to BE a Rock Em' Sock Em robot!!!!!!
