Robot comedian. Watch out Seinfeld.
Heather Knight: Silicon-based comedy | Video on TED.com: "In this first-of-its-kind demo, Heather Knight introduces Data, a robotic stand-up comedian that does much more than rattle off one-liners -- it gathers audience feedback (using software co-developed with Scott Satkin and Varun Ramakrishna at CMU) and tunes its act as the crowd responds. Is this thing on?"

I like it, but the Nao has ability to use pre-recorded sounds, so a human voice would have been a little bit cooler. It would have also been interesting to see what happens if noone laughs or if they hold up the red signs.
