Diminutive bot and b-boy...

As all the cool indie kids already know, Beck's new video for "Hell Yes" features Sony's QRIO robots busting some fluid moves, whilst a holographic Mr. Hansen floats serenely above them in a cowboy hat.

Cool.

But what you might not know is that these same diddy 'bots (as I like to call them) are also UNESCO science messengers. As such, in keeping with their modus operandi, the small band of QRIO have already been dispatched to school children throughout Japan, India and Vietnam as part of the QRIO Science Program, which "aims to stimulate curiosity about science and nurture a questing spirit to develop creative thinking". And the best thing is one of these little fellows once visited Yoko's office in Tokyo...

It is also worth noting that the video was directed by Garath Jennings of Hammer Tongs who created my favorite music video of all Time, Blur's coffee and TV.
