Hey that looks like…
Meet Chapit. This assistant robot developed by Japanese robotics company Raytron in 2007 has since appeared at various robotics and technology expos in Japan. But really, I can’t help but feel it looks a bit familiar somehow…
Designed to be small, simple, and easy to use, Chapit can recognize people, communicate via voice with a vocabulary of up to 10,000 words (which is programmable), and can remotely turn on household lights and appliances. No word yet if it can dance, start a fire in your kitchen, or back up your memory to prevent it from being scanned by an oppressive computer system installed in a dead artificial paradise.
Sadly, Chapit is still just a concept and awaits an investor or two before it can go into production. I think Legends cosplayers definitely ought to hope it does! Just needs hands and a little brown paint. You can see Chapit in action here.
Thanks for the tip, Auto! (via Akihabara News)

DATA!!!!!!!!
I’m sure someone is gonna customize it if it gets released. I know I would. lol!
If this comes out I am gonna buy one and give it a nice Data paint job!!!
This is gonna cost so much zenny >_>
Zenny I don’t have. Send me to the ruins to fight Reaverbots I wanna buy my own save point.
Wow, I wonder if the robot’s look is a homage to Data. Maybe the designers were fans and we don’t know.
all he needs is free floating balls for hands lol
I will name him Data and teach him to dance. And if he can’t dance I will install the proper servos to allow him to do so. THE MONKEY MUST DANCE. MONKEY. MUST. DANCE.
DO WANT. (I know it is a simple comment so WHATTTTTTTTTT~~~)
DO WANTTTTTTT.
cute!
A trillion Zenny just to get one of these.
I mean seriously…
- A helper robot
- It’s a monkey…
- …that almost looks like Data
- Rockman D.A.S.H
just kick the can! you’ll turn dark, but who really cares?
There’s your incentive, 100,000 Strong. The 100,000th follower gets one of these as a prize.
Reminds me of Data. So cute.
Wow… so that’s how Servbots alter their facial expressions…
The future is here!
If Data and GLaDOS had a baby……
yes
if i had $50 million i would invest in this, its awesome
Where can a guy obtain refractors so I can afford this little guy?
If only it was Data I would totally buy it after it’s through with its concept stages (and can speak english)
You know, there’s that thing where you’re allowed to use a dead person’s likeness without having to pay them or something.
^ What Glitcher said, LOL.
Still, if I were rich I would totally get one. It’s so adorable…And it totally is data. They should release a special edition with Data’s colors if these go into production.
I did the Data dance in my chair and I am not ashamed of myself.
Want! WANT! WAAAAAANT!
I like how the name of the character was not mentioned in the article. XD
EVERYBODY DO DA DATA DANCE!!!
*dances like data*
SHUT UP AND TAKE MY ZENNY!
I totally want one myself. I can make it talk to my cactus!
