Wiimote+Roomba=Wiimba!

Japanese roboticist Ryosuke (Ron) Tajima used the Wii Remote to turn the Roomba into a regular - or as he puts it "dull" - vacuum cleaner. Check out the video below.

Tajima-san - who is clad in kimono in this video - is also the creator of the one-leg hopping robot. You can see a video of the robot at this site. Click the photo on the left to see it hop.
