Titan the Robot

[Keith Mc]

While looking at other robotic items (and trying to come up with
something cool to do this year for Halloween), I ran across
this "machine":

Titan the Robot - A "comedy showbot" from England

It is actually a human performer in a powered exoskeleton, with an
animatronic head. But it APPEARS to be an "human style robot",
sort of a weird cross between AISMO, RoboCop, and the Terminator.

Performing live, it rides in and leaves on a very tailored "robot golf cart".
It is a VERY funny performer. It cracks jokes and sings "old standards"
with music piped through the suit. Its head's action is sync'd to the music.
It also has squirt guns by each eye (squirting the audience while
singing "Cry Me A River" :-). It performs at hundreds of events per
year around England as a "closeup performer" in crowds, but it has
also appeared on a number of US TV shows, specials, and on stage.

A few clips of Titan in action, on YouTube:
