oh cool, but seriously, what can they do?

carry things, push a wheelchair, cut the grass, any simple chore.

no too much yet, but that would be pointless if it couldn't walk around without falling over, be able to go up and down stairs, turn in midstep like a human, etc, which is why the huge development in movements take precedent.

here is a little bit of info

once human like movement is perfected the possibilties would be endless.

that is kind of a bizarre advert... however i'd still rather have an Aibo.

I'd like to have one at home, it would be my personal servant. It would bring me drinks and mow the lawn and whatnot. At least before it snaps and murders me and half of the neighborhood.

I noticed that too. In fact, it was hard not to.

Please explain to us how "the motion physics are wank". Please describe how said physics work, and how they could be improved.
I've seen the same hopper robot you're talking about, and yes, it is impressive. But, are you under the impression that ASIMO ISN'T using gyros and CPUs for balance?
