The Japanese never cease to amaze me. They are doing a lot of research with robotics and it seems they are years ahead of the Americans. Just take a look at the new Honda Asimo robot. It is awesome to see this thing move! Fluid motion and a perfect balance. Just check out the little flash movies they have on the website. You can see by the way this robot moves so fluid like and the way it interacts, that a lot of progress has been made: previous attempts to have a robot with two legs were pretty sad looking. I can totally see where in the next 10 years these robots will pop-up in places that are unsafe to work or for tasks we just don’t like. When I looked at this movie, I had a hard time believing it wasn’t some little guy in a robot suit. I guess I will be old enough to actually see it happen that these robots will replace humans in some places.
