Title: I saw that ASIMO robot thingy yesterday.... Post by: Sippo on Tuesday, January 23, 2007, 09:16:33 made by Honda. Was well impressed and very human like (even though it walks like its got som,ething stuck up its arse!).
It took upto 20 years or so to design, and can run upto 15mph! :shock: Title: I saw that ASIMO robot thingy yesterday.... Post by: spacey on Tuesday, January 23, 2007, 09:56:42 Can you tell it to do stuff like go to the fridge or nip down the offy? If it just runs around at 15mph like it's got something up it's arse then it must be the most pointless invention ever.

It can walk up stairs, which is difficult to do for a machine. Saw it at Disneyland last year I think. NMH Title: I saw that ASIMO robot thingy yesterday....

I'm not so sure, the Welsh language strikes me as more pointless? edit: This one may be a little more pointless actually Santa Claus Detector Patent : US5523741 Date : 1996 Inventor: Thomas Cane Title: I saw that ASIMO robot thingy yesterday....

It's when it starts to nick a few to have a sneaky smoke on the way home that you've got to worry. Title: I saw that ASIMO robot thingy yesterday....
