This plays out like the opening scene of an 80s sci-fi film: Eight foot tall robot appears in a shopping mall, sings "What a Wonderful World" and "My Way," dances around a bit to a chorus of oohs and aahs from the audience, launches into a series of silly demo movements, and then... Well, we won't spoil it for you. Let's just say that at eight feet tall (and with tons of menace) we have to wonder if Titan the Robot could be stopped should some sort of cinematic "glitch" should cause him to "freak out" amongst the onlookers at Dubai's GITEX 2009. Like most man-made disasters, this one starts innocently enough: with a show-stopping rendition of a Paul Anka tune. Curious? Peep it after the break. Just make sure you don't get close.

We are probably at least 10 years away from having a robot that can move like that. Still very cool.
Damn, I wanted this to be real.
In shots of the back you can make out where the guys feet, knees and arms are (black convoluted tube bits), also the mirrored surface on the chest is at about eye height. He seems to have suffered a stroke too, the left hand is motionless and the right has only one moving finger.
Someone should give him a little shove.
This guy isn't have as good as the original. http://www.rockittherobot.com/
Michael Jackson is back from the grave.
Their economy will fail miserably just like ours one day. They should learn from all of our excessive spending of the 80's and 90's.
Robocop slash ED209 meets Terminator, hey we all love its great, what the future holds or perhaps what the past has already achieved. If this is a "dude in a suit" then he sure will struggle for the loo! Heres food for thought, perhaps they want us to accept the man in the suit when really it is A.I. ?
This was also used for a captain morgan commercial
