That was by far the funniet F***ing thing I've ever seen in my life!

I almost fell off my chair here at work... people probably heard

me snickering & supressing exuberation in my cubicle like a five

year old schoolboy with candy in his pocket.

Even funnier than William Gates' blue screen of death eff-up! :lol:

PAY NO ATTENTION TO THE DEAD ROBOT BEHIND THE CURTAIN!!!

I also laughed pretty hard at the "Honda builds great cars...." headline.

That's priceless!

The drunken Irish made the stainless steel DeLorean. :wink:

ASIMO is a Hon-DUH. Although I hear when they bring

him to the USA he'll get a very-slight cosmetic upgrade

& wear an ACURA Euro-ASIMO Type-S badge.

That face-plant is priceless! I love it.

(I'd still rather have an Asimo rather than a Ridgeline)

I love ASIMO haha. Those last two vids of it slaloming and running are great. new ASIMO. It can be my own personal robot party drink server, or maybe get the door when I'm too lazy.

In all seriousness though, major props to Honda engineers for their devotion to robotics. Going through their worldwide site, it chronicles the development of its bipedal robot. Its come a long way since the mid 80's where a lone pair of legs was larger and clumsier than the current incarnation. Now it can recognize and imitate people's motions, wave back at people, kick around a soccer ball or (post 04 robot) climb stairs.

Robosapien V2 can't bring you a tray of beers. Unless you drink in proportional, tiny robosapian sized cups. You might want to hold off before you use the "I was drunk" excuse then since it'll take a day's worth of mini-beers to even realize you have alcohol in your system :P

Yes, it is excellent that someone is doing this high level of R&D. Strange that it is a car company... but I guess they make jets now too. Heck, GM had to try twice to get me a signal light that worked! :angry:

Is it just me that wants to kick it everytime I see it?
