that is a robotic ape!

Why, yes, that is a robotic ape!

German researchers have focused their efforts on creating a life-like robotic ape capable of moving just like the real thing, using its back feet and front knuckles, and what's cool about this bio-bot is that unlike many others based on large animals, the robotic ape walks forwards, backwards and side to side all without the aid of a tether.

Kinect in education: Bring lessons to life with gesture-based learning Get Students Engaged: Learning through  Motion with Kinect for Education Easy to use and instantly fun, Kinect gets students’ whole body—and attention—into learning fun. Students can use their arms as the hands on a clock to form the correct time, or play a game where they read “red” on the screen then vigorously pop all the red balloons. Students can even collaborate on projects using avatars. For more than 100 classroom and after-school activities, click the School activity plans tab on this page.

"When I used Kinect in my Algebra class, students began asking questions that went far beyond the curriculum requirements. This was a huge success, as it got students thinking about applying the content in a real-world context." — Johnny Kissko, Secondary Math Teacher, Frenship High School, Texas Foster learning, social development, and collaboration with these games   Sesame Street: Once Upon a Monster National Geographic Challenge! Kinect Adventures! Kinect Sports Kinectimals Kinect Fun Labs Body and Brain Connection Yoostar 2 Kinect Nat Geo TV Kinect Sesame Street TV   Bring distance learning and collaboration alive with Avatar Kinect Animate distance learning, project collaboration, and socializing among classrooms by using Avatar Kinect* to turn ordinary video calls into a fully virtual environment. Avatar Kinect uses motion tracking in Kinect plus facial recognition to give each student his or her own avatar, a real-time on-screen representation of the student, which mimics the way that the participant smiles, nods, speaks, and gestures. As many as eight people can connect in different physical locations. Using Avatar Kinect for tele-presence requires much less bandwidth than regular video calls, and it takes little more than the bandwidth of a voice call to completely animate the avatars in real time. Avatar Kinect is now available as a free download on Kinect Fun Labs. Energize physical education Redefine PE while helping meet national standards for motor skills and fitness. Set up station rotations in the gym for physical exercise while reinforcing respectful social behavior through highly immersive exergames, allow students self-expression, social interaction, and creativity. Check out Kinect Sports demo. Put the "active" back in after-school activities Foster social development and collaboration with games like Kinect Adventures, Kinect Fun Labs, Disneyland® Adventures, and many more.
