Honda's new version of Asimo can do more things
http://news.com.com/Hondas+robot+rea...3-5992906.html
Serving refreshments is one of the new tasks Honda's cutting-edge robot, Asimo, has learned during the past year. The company demonstrated the robot's new skills in a video released on Dec. 13, 2005.
Asimo learned how to run in 2004. The new version of Honda's robot can run 3.7 miles per hour--twice as fast as last year's model.
Asimo, at 4.25 feet tall, can push a cart weighing 22 pounds.
Dozens of servo motors help the robot execute complex motions smoothly.
Honda says that Asimo's ability to climb a set of stairs is the culmination of almost two decades of research and development.
Asimo uses 26 servo motors to balance on one foot.
Asimo can balance on one foot while kicking a soccer ball.
Asimo fans helped welcome the robot to Disneyland earlier in 2005.

I've seen a wheelchair do that. It could drive around on only two wheels as well with a person sitting in it. AwesomeOriginally posted by Asher

What do they see in the robot that they can't find in a great guy like me?
What I love about this, is that every movement he makes, is perfect. While it is obvious that a robot should be making perfect movements (e.g. when he runs, the distances between each step is exactly the same, and he can stop on an exact spot, with perfect alignment), I still find it an amazing turning point for what is to come: Robots with the inability to fail.
be free
Personally, I would rather that the robots be sold, rather than be PR pieces. Otherwise, it will take forever for much progress to be made.
I came upon a barroom full of bad Salon pictures in which men with hats on the backs of their heads were wolfing food from a counter. It was the institution of the "free lunch" I had struck. You paid for a drink and got as much as you wanted to eat. For something less than a rupee a day a man can feed himself sumptuously in San Francisco, even though he be a bankrupt. Remember this if ever you are stranded in these parts. ~ Rudyard Kipling, 1891
they have to do something useful first. They look pretty useless to me.
Well, then have them learn to do something useful. (Although in Japan, you could probably get away with it not doing anything useful.)

I noticed you dropped your participation in the LCD/Plasma vs DLP thread.

yep that's what Honda is doing. As you can see from the above posts, they have finally gotten to the point that it can go up steps. It's slow, but steady progress.
In any case, they still can't compare to this:
You can't be serious. How can it have perfect movement in naturally imperfect conditions (slightly uneven surfaces, air moving in the room)?Originally posted by Sn00py

I think Asimo is secretly funded by the food services industry.
It can push carts, serve food and beverages, climb stairs, say 'do u want fries with that?' requires no benefits, never takes sick days, is always on time, never has 'personal problems'...
In 30 years say 'good bye' to the low level food service job.
I'm sure the initial cost will be more than offset over the total lifetime of the robot.

You'll still need people to clean burger fat off the robot's chassis. Unless you have a cleaner robot for that.
Sandman: it can be processed thru a cleaning room - high pressure air, and soap water.
One issue that makes me wonder about robotics - when robots will finally cover crop collection, and apparel manufacturing, what would people do in the 3rd world?
Everyone in the entire world will collect welfare until the robots decide to stop supporting our lazy asses.

I commented in the previous thread about heuristics and teaching robots movement. Gynoids aren't that far behind, I expect the first Chinese or Indian models within under 50 years, and frankly I would not be surprised in 20 years. In 50 years they will be ubiquitous.

Nah. Won't happen. Most of these machines wouldn't have to have any real intelligence. Thus, they won't "want" to be liberated. If any real AI would emerge, It wouldn't have any reason to want them "liberated" (
How, pray tell, would you "liberate" the robotics in something like a car factory?
my point exactly.
