ALCNON: The dancing predator robot from Japan

Sony and Honda may have the most advanced robots in terms of features, but when it comes to working, human-sized robots that truly match the wild images of Japanese anime it’s hard to beat the independently created ALCNON robot. Around the height of a small child, and equipped with one creepy cyclops eye and two giant pincers for hands, the ALCNON robot made a big splash at the recent ROBO-ONE robot battle in Japan.

Displaying the ability to dance and stand up from a sleeping position, the robot is less the cuddly robot most companies want to show you and more the menacing battle droid military experts around the world are hoping to get their hands on. Check out the chilling video of ALCNON destroying his puny enemies here.
