My Keepon drops by for a brief hands-on, we can't handle the cuteness (video)

See that little dude up there? That's My Keepon, and it should look familiar if you're a fan Spoon or keeping up with autism and related human interaction research. It was just about four years ago that we glimpsed the original dancing research robot by BeatBots dubbed Keepon, and now the $50 toy version we'd been teased is finally set to make its debut this holiday season. Considering its Pro sibling costs nearly $30k, we were curious to see how well this version made by Wow! Stuff would keep the original's essence in tow. To find out, we spent some time with a pre-production unit and had Marek Michalowski, co-inventor of the robot, walk us through it.
