The humanoid Running Man robot can zip around buildings, climb stairways and even open doors by itself.
But after this weekend, you can count celebrating Mardi Gras as one more of its many accomplishments.
Pensacola’s Mardi Gras Parade Grand Marshal this year is the Pensacola-based Florida Institute for Human and Machine Cognition’s “Running Man” robot, who will kick the 2016 Grand Mardi Gras Parade off waving to the tens of thousands of spectators in attendance.
In June 2015, IHMC entered Running Man in the DARPA Robotics Challenge Finals and came away with winnings of $1 million, outperforming 21 teams from around the world.

Seems like something that would happen in Tokyo.

How long before he is the grand marshal in Zulu?

What gets his attention to throw beads?

It would probably pay its dues in a more timely fashion than most of its riders
