Another miniature humanoid robot on display was Fujitsu's HOAP-2. This droid has been programmed to perform moves from the Chinese martial art taijiquan, as well as Japanese Sumo wrestling stances.

Just a little WD-40 on the ground in front of HOAP-2 and... IPPON Taro!

BAH! Robot is no match for Mashimaro!

Witness his rigorous Sumo training.

(If you've never heard of him, Mashimaro is the yeopki tokki or "crazy rabbit." He's a marketed character in Korea and was voted "Best Character" in 2002.)
More caustic. Less saint. :twisted:
