Plen the desk top robot

The AkaZawa's Desktop PLEN Robot is a 23 cm tall, roller skating robot that can be controlled from desktop software or via Bluetooth from a mobile phone.

It has a 32 bit ARM processor running at 33 MHz. Its built-in 3 axis accelerometer and 18 movable joints enable it to dance, walk, roller skate (forwards and backwards) and ride a skateboard. Other moves include picking up a large cube and tossing it, standing up after it falls down and a karate kick.

PLEN can skate on his own power for around 25 minutes. It is equipped with a USB/RS-232C interface along with Bluetooth.
