Agreed robots have been created to serve mankind, but once in awhile its good to create ones that have no specific purpose in life and entertain us. The Push-kun (a.k.a. Mr. Push) is a robot with a crab-like gait. It tells jokes; plays drum rolls on itself, tosses oversized dice and performs other amusing antics. Osaka-based Robot Force has created it, and it gave stiff competition to its opponents in the Baka RoboCup 2007 competition. Check out Push-kun's moves in this video shot at a recent robot conference in Tokyo. A little red robot named OniRoppo, also created by Robot Force, appears toward the end of the video.
