I wanted it to hit the guy with the hockey stick - he would have deserved it... ;)
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

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

If it's not broken, fix it until it is

That thing is just creepy... :~
There are two types of people in this world: those that pronounce GIF with a soft G, and those who do not deserve to speak words, ever.
:thumbsup: Can't have that creepy thing as a colleague :-)

I we don't hear from you again, we'll know why! ;P

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:
GOTOs are a bit like wire coat hangers: they tend to breed in the darkness, such that where there once were few, eventually there are many, and the program's architecture collapses beneath them. (Fran Poretto)

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.

I kept waiting for it to get pissed off and hit the guy.

Yeah, seriously. It looked like the robot left pissed off...which is exactly how the Terminator is born...thanks hockey stick guy, you just doomed the world... :doh:

My code has no bugs, it runs exactly as it was written.
