Probably something like this. Created for this year’s CEATEC JAPAN show, the droid cannot dance around, but she can move her head around and sing. Getting androids to walk is an incredibly challenging task — singing, blinking and talking is far more manageable. Below, Miku sings the song “Melt”.
The sound quality isn’t so great and neither is the camera work. Whaddayagonnado.

That robot just looks creepy as hell. And I don’t like this song.

It reminds me of the old Supermarionation stuff. After 40 years, all they’ve managed to do is get rid of (some) of the strings.
