cool and creepy at the same time

>CLICK MEH<

i couldn't get that to work in FF, only IE =\

Fuck. That's just wrong

Overrated. Highly.

I have yet to see one thing that Asimo does that is not already in use in some machine.

Example: THe motion physics are wank. Just becuase he doesnt fall over when he walks/runs doesn' tmean shit. I saw some project footage of some MIT students that create a robot with only one leg that could 'walk' by hopping around. It was able to balance itself via gryoscopes and an onboard CPU.

Example2: Asimo is remote controlled. Honda is a master of deception when it comes to promotion of Asimo. Watch carefully next time Asimo makes a public appearance for the huge team of scientists standing at the edge of the scene controlling him.

I could pick Asimo apart for hours, but I have to jet. For the record though, I'm not saying Asimo isn't a technological feat, but I am saying I as one person, am not impressed because it does nothing I haven't already seen in other devices/machines.

I'd have one

What's the point of that thing, only thing I can make of it is advertisements. :/

Well it's a robot and it walks !!

You are just anxious because it could easily replace you.

good god jugger, give it a rest.

What's the point of them making this robot, is it only for the commercial? If so, seems like it would just be easier to make a suite for a child to run around in.

wtf

it's progressive automation. these kinds of experiments can have thousands of applications in the near future.

Phuket, lol.

twisted and cool

...and please tell me that thing doesnt have a dick.

dunno, you posted it.

hahah, After the kid takes like 3 pictures, and the robot stops backpedeling.. the look on his face..

"Ohh shit"

yup I'd be seriously impresed if that thing wa not remote controled, unfortunately everything about that commercial felt scripted...

i didn't realize that commercials weren't scripted.

lol you know what I mean

well, i was more impressed on how fluid that bastard's movements are. it's a bit freaky. i had recalled he wasn't autonomous so that didn't surprise me at all.

arm rest, cup holder.. what else can i use it for?
