… a group of grad students at Japan’s Keio University have put together a comprehensive robot control interface that relies solely on finger swipes, taps, and presses. By employing the iPhone’s built-in accelerometer and multitouch screen, the robot can replicate a humanistic walking motion, perform sidesteps and, when called upon, kick a football with gusto and presumed passion.
This iphone gesture controlled robot looks pretty cool, even though the pace on his kick seems a little lame right now. Doubt he could play for France just now though, as I didn’t see any ability to use his hands. 
Have a look at Engadget Mobile’s post for more details and a video demo:
