The two wheels move independently, and so it is able to "dance" to music that is provided by an iPod that plugs into the unit, or from music streamed over its wireless internet connection.

I wonder if this new Sony device is licensed from the Japanese robot developer ZMP.

Here's what I wrote about it back in january:

"Yoichiro Dan of Japan’s ZMP gave a live demo of their Miuro robot (short for “Music Innovation based on Utility RObot technology”), the sixth of a series of educational and consumer robots developed by the company. Miruro is a music player with wheels – and speakers in the wheels. It gets its music from an inserted iPod or other MP3 player, or wirelessly from the Internet. It has a half-dozen dance modes, where it wheels and jitters about in time with the music. Sensors keep it from falling down stairs, off tables, and bumping into people."]]>Sep 1st 2007 10:18AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/09/01/sony-rolly-update-naturally-sonys-not-saying-a-thing/http://www.engadget.com/2007/09/01/sony-rolly-update-naturally-sonys-not-saying-a-thing/Sep 1st 2007 10:29AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/09/01/sony-rolly-update-naturally-sonys-not-saying-a-thing/http://www.engadget.com/2007/09/01/sony-rolly-update-naturally-sonys-not-saying-a-thing/Sep 1st 2007 2:18PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/09/01/sony-rolly-update-naturally-sonys-not-saying-a-thing/http://www.engadget.com/2007/09/01/sony-rolly-update-naturally-sonys-not-saying-a-thing/Sep 1st 2007 10:42AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/09/01/sony-rolly-update-naturally-sonys-not-saying-a-thing/http://www.engadget.com/2007/09/01/sony-rolly-update-naturally-sonys-not-saying-a-thing/Sep 1st 2007 10:48AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/09/01/sony-rolly-update-naturally-sonys-not-saying-a-thing/http://www.engadget.com/2007/09/01/sony-rolly-update-naturally-sonys-not-saying-a-thing/Sep 1st 2007 10:52AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/09/01/sony-rolly-update-naturally-sonys-not-saying-a-thing/http://www.engadget.com/2007/09/01/sony-rolly-update-naturally-sonys-not-saying-a-thing/Sep 1st 2007 10:53AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/09/01/sony-rolly-update-naturally-sonys-not-saying-a-thing/http://www.engadget.com/2007/09/01/sony-rolly-update-naturally-sonys-not-saying-a-thing/Sep 1st 2007 12:01PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/09/01/sony-rolly-update-naturally-sonys-not-saying-a-thing/http://www.engadget.com/2007/09/01/sony-rolly-update-naturally-sonys-not-saying-a-thing/Sep 1st 2007 12:10PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/09/01/sony-rolly-update-naturally-sonys-not-saying-a-thing/http://www.engadget.com/2007/09/01/sony-rolly-update-naturally-sonys-not-saying-a-thing/Sep 1st 2007 12:11PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/09/01/sony-rolly-update-naturally-sonys-not-saying-a-thing/http://www.engadget.com/2007/09/01/sony-rolly-update-naturally-sonys-not-saying-a-thing/Sep 1st 2007 12:51PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/09/01/sony-rolly-update-naturally-sonys-not-saying-a-thing/http://www.engadget.com/2007/09/01/sony-rolly-update-naturally-sonys-not-saying-a-thing/]]>Sep 1st 2007 2:34PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/09/01/sony-rolly-update-naturally-sonys-not-saying-a-thing/http://www.engadget.com/2007/09/01/sony-rolly-update-naturally-sonys-not-saying-a-thing/Sep 1st 2007 2:21PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/09/01/sony-rolly-update-naturally-sonys-not-saying-a-thing/http://www.engadget.com/2007/09/01/sony-rolly-update-naturally-sonys-not-saying-a-thing/Sep 1st 2007 2:49PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/09/01/sony-rolly-update-naturally-sonys-not-saying-a-thing/http://www.engadget.com/2007/09/01/sony-rolly-update-naturally-sonys-not-saying-a-thing/Sep 1st 2007 2:51PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/09/01/sony-rolly-update-naturally-sonys-not-saying-a-thing/http://www.engadget.com/2007/09/01/sony-rolly-update-naturally-sonys-not-saying-a-thing/Sep 1st 2007 6:59PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/09/01/sony-rolly-update-naturally-sonys-not-saying-a-thing/http://www.engadget.com/2007/09/01/sony-rolly-update-naturally-sonys-not-saying-a-thing/
