Doll Robot Dances to the Polka

 Alice - the 60 cm (24 inches) tall doll robot - dances to the Ievan Polkka tune. Music was composed using MIDI.

 Found out from NODE that you can find the DancingDoll's website here. According to the information on this page, the robot uses 25 servo motors, a 2-axis gyro sensor and a 3-axis accelerometer. So the inside is STUFFED with components but it still manages to fit into a doll outfit. Movements are programmed by a PC and it can walk with its two legs. You can also operate it with the PlayStation 2 cordless controller.
