Seiko Epson has just announced this teensy new robot called Monsieur II-P. It’s barely the size of a walnut, weighs only 12 grams, uses Bluetooth to communicate, and is powered by two 0.4mm ultrasonic motors. Nobody has any clue exactly what the heck these things are useful for — not even Seiko Epson, actually — but damn, aren’t they cool to look at?

All I know is I want one. Actually, I want twelve of them. Then I can replicate the insanely fabulous scene from this video: A dozen Monsieur II-P robots doing a little dance to classical music, at a Tokyo trade show.

(Thanks to Gizmodo for locating this one!)
