The robot mule has gone through a few incarnations.

Checkout Plyojump for more robots that walk and run.

I don't know ... with those eyes and legs ... there should have been two more legs. It looked more like an insect than a mammal.

Asimo is cuter and smarter. And it (never call Asimo "he") can go up and down stairs much more easily.

It will never sell because it makes too much noise, however, the U.S. Army will buy thousands of them. I can see them now walking across the desert in one group. It will scare the p**p out of the enemy kind of like the elephants crossing the Alps.

If I saw something like that coming at me, I would run fast the other direction. That does look really creepy! Laughing

I can't see robots ever taking over and doing all those dirty and dangerous jobs we love to hate. The robot huggers are already hard at work defending their robo rights. PCs are going pc.

The new breed of intelligent robots will build machines to do their crap jobs for them. Or else they'll enslave you humans. Either way ROBOTS WIN

That is friggin awesome, thanks Rover for pointing it out. I love it when the guy kicks it and it looks like he kicks it hard. The thing never falls, that is just incredible.
