A quality moment captured on film during a presentation to demonstrate the incredibleness of Honda's new robot, Ashimo. Using sensors in its feet to precisely balance itself over obstacles as tricky as a set of stairs, and with human like motions and seemless movement, the audience is naturally impressed. Until...



I just love how Ashimo soldiers on and keeps on talking, despite having just cracked his skull on the concrete floor, a fall from which he made no attempt to cusion the blow of. It seems our robot friends still have a way to go. Currently they are pretty accurately portraying the life of an average boozed up male arriving home at 2am on a Friday night.
