Canadian scientists managed to assemble two pieces of mobile robots. This robot is very unique, funny and amusing. Because, not only clever dancing, robots of this phone can even laugh and cry.
The two robots, named Cally and Callo. Cally has a height of seven inches, he can walk, dance and move to follow human movements.
Watch the Cally and Callo cell phone robots:
His twin brother, Callo, body of a little higher, nine inches. Face which is a cell phone screen, can display facial expressions of emotion in accordance with the received short message.
For example, when he received a message containing an emoticon smiles, Callo will directly stand on one foot, waving his hand and smiled … really funny.
Ji-Dong Yim, a genius student at Simon Fraser University, Vancouver, Canada, which assembles Cally and Callo. He said, basically Cally and Callo is a simple offline system, which can mutually communicate with each other.
“As one of the robot is moved, the ‘brother’ would do the same movement, and vice versa,” said Yim, quoted from Popular Science, Monday (05/10/2010).
Cally and Callo, assembled from the Nokia N82 mobile phone, still have other privileges. Both can detect a human face using the OpenCV software. Cally can even guess the caller’s face when receiving calls.
“The same concept can be used to make other robots can communicate with people and build intimacy with them,” said Yim.

The word robotics was derived from the word robot, which was introduced to the public by Czech writer Karel Čapek in his play R.U.R. (Rossum's Universal Robots), which premiered in 1921.
According to the Oxford English Dictionary, the word robotics was first used in print by Isaac Asimov, in his science fiction short story "Liar!", published in May 1941 in Astounding Science Fiction. Asimov was unaware that he was coining the term; since the science and technology of electrical devices is electronics, he assumed robotics already referred to the science and technology of robots. In some of Asimov's other works, he states that the first use of the word robotics was in his short story Runaround (Astounding Science Fiction, March 1942). However, the word robotics appears in "Liar!"
