Hangood shows off HGR-3 humanoid bot

Nothing too incredibly fancy going on here, but this new humanoid HGR-3 bot from Hangood is decently limber compared to most of its peers. Along with walking around like any good biped should, the robot can do somersaults, shadow boxing, push-ups and kicks. We don't have much more info than that -- there's no word on when it's being released or for how much -- but it looks to be China-only all the same. Still, we see some definite world-domination potential in this aerobic powerhouse, especially once we've got the flame-throwers all hooked up. Keep reading for a viddo of the unit in action.

I, for one, welcome our pint-size, somersaulting overlords.

A couple of 100-megawatt argon lasers on the arms, that'll do the trick.
He's a bit flat-footed, though. I can't see him wowing the crowds at Dance Dance Revolution, for example.
(Not that with lasers on his arms he'll get anything but frantic applause at everything he does, however crap).

The company is named Hangood? Like Hungwell?
