this has been discussed on slashdot before.  i particularly like the idea that it can hold a pilot...  if you go to the japanese product site and click around on links with "T-52" (the only characters i can make out) you can see a video (quicktime & wmv) of the thing moving around.  boring video, but again, cool idea.
