Graupner’s RB1000: This Robot’s Got Gigs

Standing about one foot tall, Graupner Robotics’ blue aluminum RB1000 rocks some of the smoothest moves that we’ve seen from a robot to date. The 4 lb, $1300 RB1000 comes configured with 19 moves, including arm waves and knee bends. For $225 less, you can get a scaled down version, the RB2000, which comes programmed with 13 moves.

To watch the RB1000 do its modified version of giggin’ (a Bay Area dance style), click here. For those who have never heard of giggin’, watch the second video titled Giggin’ first.
