QRIO vs ASIMO

FIGHT!

I really hope we persue this technology further, just amazing to think that we have come so far and have the potential to go much further....

Does it look like Arnold?

 

[AsianriceX]

damn that thing is cute, and I don't call many things cute

Now if it turned on me and tried to kill me, that'd be another story...

 

[loup garou]

Damn, did you guys watch the videos? That thing is amazing.

As a supposed heterosexual male I have to say that the teddybear on AI was freaking cute as HELL. I mean who wouldn't want a teddybear like that?

Is there no video? I've seen that goofy honda one before, but I'd love to see a running bot.

Next, drop a chaingun on it and send it into the field.

Fact is, it's obvious that eventually some high-risk missions will be undergone by robots. I hope they are not hackable

That thing is just a sophisticated toy. It is nowhere near being self aware. It is simply responding to stimuli on the basis of very complex algorithms.

pretty cool videos and flash cite that doesn't completely suck. the voice over was a tad annoying though.

pretty kewl how it can fall and get up

no video of it running

 

[slackerinabox]

Am I the only one that thought that the robot was going to rip off the elephant's trunk and then kick its ass in that commercial?

Can one of your lovely buggars link me to a video? BTW, realplayer and that proprietary format crap they are using do not count.

it's damn loud and annoying when it's "running"

and the fact that the legs are always bent make it look awkward.

 

[FeathersMcGraw]

Good, now I have something to walk my Aibo.

 

[Lifer]

wow, did you see it wind up for a pitch? :Q:Q:Q

 

[ApacheXMD]
