Asimo makes an ass of itself

Tired of all those videos of late of Japanese robots doing this and that?
If so, check this one out. . .
All the talk in the background while this is going on is bragging about the technology that goes into making it possible for good old Asimo to climb stairs.

Nurse! The screens!

Give it a chance! That robot must be at least four years old! That’s a 100 in human years…
December 11th, 2006 at 8:09 pmAsimo: itai itai itai itai itai…
December 11th, 2006 at 8:11 pmWell, that shattered my anime fueled delusions of robots taking over the world in the near future, I had such high hopes for Asimo (sigh).
December 11th, 2006 at 9:04 pmLooking at that again, it looks like he snapped a cruciate knee ligament. Honda should have a look at their elastic bands.
December 11th, 2006 at 10:56 pmYou just know that with that tumble, someone is gonna get fired! ughh:cry:
December 11th, 2006 at 11:12 pmPoor Asimo! I almost cried. I hope he’s ok.
December 12th, 2006 at 2:51 pmPeople, IT’S A FRIGGIN ROBOT THAT CAN WALK UP AND DOWN STAIRS. Even ED-209 couldn’t do that. How many times have YOU stumbled on the stairs?
December 13th, 2006 at 4:53 amHey, the Daleks couldn’t manage stairs. And they could EXTERMINATE you. This is groundbreaking stuff indeed.
December 13th, 2006 at 7:37 amIf I remember correctly, RoboCop II (or was it III) couldn’t walk down stairs either. . . And that’s why he got his CPU clock cleaned by RoboCop I (a.k.a. Murphy).
