            They should program it to shovel snow, mow the lawn, and wash the car, you know, useful stuff. :)

                            very impressive but I can't help feeling we'd be a lot further on if a little less effort was wasted on human-like characteristics (bipedal walking is a really stupid way of getting around, let's face it). All that work on recovering from stumbles that it really doesn't need to make could surely have been better spent?

                            I am not a number. I am a ... no, wait!

                                I dunno about bi pedal, maybe 3 or 4 leg would be a good idea... although bi pedal use less space, smaller surface on the ground so it's not a complete waste.. But recovering from stumble is essential! What's the point of a robot which can't do anything because it can't reach its destination and break fragile stuff as it falls (all the time)?!

                                  They actually tried a 4-legged robot but found it to be too noisy. They decided to go with only two legs, then, because it would be less conspicuous distracting.:cool:

                                    and besides, it is more difficult to make a four legged version walk round as if it were terminally constipated.

                                    It goes without saying

                                      I don't find it creepy. Robots intelligence (created by us) is so less sophisticated that they cannot perform simple walking (until now). Still I think it is kinda slow, since it falls from a push (humans react really fast and do not). And I don't think that energy system is autonomous like ours. And I don't even imagine high-level intellectual functions. We are so far from "intelligent" robots.
