Look out gym trainers, General Robotix, Inc has a robot ready to replace you. Well, almost.

Time to work off that hamburger buddy!

According to Pink Tentacle, Taizo is a robot that can help teach people how to properly stretch. It can operate for 2 hours per charge. Taizo can respond to voice commands, provided those voice commands are about exercise and not, say, dominating the earth. It is a small robot, standing at just 28-inches tall. What makes the robot appear even shorter is that it is sitting down for most exercises, though is can stand up if it needs to.

General Robotix, Inc is a maker of humanoid robots and humanoid robot parts. They even have a linux-based operating system for their robots. Best of all you can purchase all of these items from them so you can build your own robot … if you live in Japan. They do not ship outside of Japan right now.

The robot certainly looks very chipper and ready and willing to teach the elderly how to get their groove on. However, I do question having the Jack in the-Box Mascot teaching people how to stretch. Though perhaps after eating enough of their awesome hamburgers, it is for the best.

Below is a video of Jack, I mean Taizo, showing off his awesome moves.
