"From parade appearances to his most recent star turn at Sundance, it looks like Asimo's re-invention as a song-and-dance man continues unabated. Most recently, those crazy intellectual property lawyers-cum-bloggers at Stamoulis &amp;amp; Weinblatt, LLC have hepped us to a patent app in Honda's name that describes a robot that can not only pick up a beat and dance along, but recognize the tune and sing its lyrics as well. The latter is accomplished by a wide array of techno-stuff, including a \"sound collecting unit,\" a \"voice signal generating unit\" capable of both scat singing and singing singing, a \"self-vocalized voice regulating unit,\" and more. As far as the dancing goes, the application implies that it has something to do with a \"beat interval estimating unit\" and a \"beat time reliability calculating unit,\" although we like to believe that the automaton learned to dance the way grandpa did -- from Arthur Murray on West 57th Street in Manhattan."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
