Qbo music player robot responds at hand gestures, challenges DJ Roomba to a dance-off (video)

What’s so one can impress your folks? With a robot boom box that responds on your every hand movement, that’s how. Meet Qbo, TheCorpora’s open-source Linux robot who we’ve gotten to grasp over time, even through his awkward phase . Nowadays, this full grown cutie has stereoscopic “eyes” and a face-identifying system that’s able to learning, recognizing faces, and responding. Along with his new hand gesture recognition skills, Qbo will start playing music the instant you delay a fist. Putting your hand out in a “halt” position stops the song and pointing left or right jumps to different tracks for your playlist. Giving Qbo the peace sign increases the amount (yeah, seriously!), while pointing the peace sign down tells him to take it down a number of notches. The final word party mate and wing man is then again kind as to announce the name and title of the track. The video after the break best explains what hanging with this fellow is like, but when you love textual explanations, just imagine yourself awkwardly doing the robot to manipulate your stereo. Go on, we cannot look.
