And once again, the Wiimote proves that it's not just for using with your Wii, as this time, we get a full demonstration on how it can be used to control a robot.

Now for those of you who can afford these expensive toys, the video that we have here shows a WowWee Robosapien Version 2 Humanoid Robot (a.k.a. Robby V2) being programmed to respond to a Wiimote. It seems pretty easy, actually, as demonstrated by the guy who uploaded the video itself, roschler.

Apparently, the 110-US-dollar robot comes with its own scripting program which you can then use with an IR receiver (with matching transmitter, of course) and a Wiimote. And the result? Skits to impress friends and family with, or you could at least bring your robot to the next elegant dinner and delight your otherwise-bored companions.

Anyway, watch, learn and enjoy.

Erratum: Oops. Apparently, the robot doesn't come with the software, though it can be downloaded from robodance.com, as kindly pointed out by Robert Oschler, the guy who made this video possible. Thanks for pointing that out!
