An audience in Newcastle Centre For Life was introduced to Stelarc's latest project, a 'walking head' robot which will be a feature there for a month. The six legged robot with its head on a screen is one of the highlights of the Dott 07 design festival.
It is programmed to respond to someone entering the room, so every visitor will be treated to a little robot dance.
