Adding video to channels (Meme) - requested by SlipperyPete.

Just when I thought it couldn't get any creepier...

haha *quality. Ok Arvana, what's the story with this, is this a mashup or are there internet savvy researchers taking the piss?

Boosting this quality contribution up in the Hot Listing - declared quality by schmawy.

Oh it pretends it's happy, but you can tell from the grimace it defaults to that it's dead inside.

@schmawy: It's 100% real -- they got a $2.6M research grant for it too.

Sure, the technology is real, but the question is: is this video real, or a mashup?

Did the engineers code a routine to make the robot ape the Trololo song, or did someone make a video that just makes it looks that way?

Well, then that's totally AWESOME.

I was hoping it would say " der Humpink "
