Asimo Running

Asimo walking up stairs

Asimo falling down stairs

:bigteeth: But yeah it's nice.

He looks like someone trying to run with hemorrhoids... :)

I have a calender that counts down to the day robots can break dance.

Besides that, the progress is going pretty good with the humanoid-robots. Cool.

EDIT: LOL@the falling, that presentation must have been totally ruined.

Wow, that's really cool! I wonder how much money has been invested into that thing?

Each one costs a little less than $1 million to manufacture, and some units are available to be hired out for $150,000 per month. They have one that will be a permante part of Disney World in Orlando FL, starting spring 2007.
