'Kirin-headed' robot performs lion dance

TOTTORI, Japan - A computer-controlled robot with a ''kirin'' head performs a Japanese traditional ''shishi'' (lion) dance at an exhibition of high-technology industrial products in the western Japan city Tottori on the Sea of Japan on Nov. 27. The kirin is an imaginary creature similar to the dragon in China. The shishi dance is usually performed by a person, but the capering robot built by a group of students at Tottori Kogyo High School, proved equal to the art.
