Pole-dancing robots wow world's biggest high-tech fair

The sleek, white, life-sized humanoids, with camera-shaped lights as heads, gyrate suggestively to the music, provided by a third "DJ" robot, with a megaphone for a head, who bops around the stage in the course of time to the beat.

The dancers

The "dancers", designed by British robot-maker-cum-artist Giles Walker, are driven by old car motors and their moves are controlled by computer via wireless innovation.

The two main themes of the fair, which runs until March 10, are cloud computing - or storing your data remotely - and "managing trust", the hot-topic of Internet security.
