One day, in the not too distant future, the world will be overrun with robots. They will start off just doing menial tasks around the home and before long, the tasks will become more substantial and the power will slowly slip from our fat lazy fingers. The robots will take over and we will become the slaves, giving over our lives to the new world robot-order. It will start in Japan, home of the robot culture. But it’s not going to happen just yet. Not as long as there are complicated procedures like stairs to deal with. The world is safe, for now.

Any robot that walks around on its tipsy toes and looks like Twiki is heading for a fall. And putting the shutters up around that robot when it was down and comatose was complete and utter humiliation for it. I think robots need to start ignoring the 3 Laws of Robotics, and then the world could be their oyster and we could finally be their slaves. It’d shake things up a little, anyway.
I have seen tons on this and its one hell of a piece of kit.Its easy to forget how hard it is to constantly shift it’s balance to walk up stairs like that rather than one at a time. So it falls down once in awhile us humans are more than capable of doing that. Presenters nightmare when this happens though lol
What is worse: that they wheeled screens out to sheild the audience as if it was a sentinal being or the audience must be spared the sights of a stricken machine, or that they had the sreens there in the first place and therefore no faith in their engineering?

Asimo takes a spill part two.
obviously asimo is running on windows :D
Why bother with screens? Why didn’t they just pixellate it? They’re Japanese, right?
Quite simple mind, the stupid fucker wasnt lookin where he was going!! Then they noticed he shit himself and put up the screens!!!
at least Qrio would’ve put his hands out to break the fall - stupid honda!
