Default Bipedal robot on a bike

Came across this last night, kind of cool like the mini V12 video recently posted.

It is, isn't it! Unreal that the guy who made it wants the next iteration to be able to drive itself without him using a remote control.

DARPA has a contest for that and he should enter, albeit, war machine.

Japanese have several, of which Asimo comes to mind and THAT will be needed as we get older IMO.

-- as a side, note, and this is just me, but I almost see this as awsome with a tincture of ho-hum....have I become expecting even much more in this overly tech world? I think so. Bet some kids don't even see this as important.

Latest on Asimo from one month ago:

In what Honda claims is world-first technology, its Asimo robot is now able to move without being controlled by an operator.

A significant improvement in intelligence and the physical ability to adapt to situations takes Asimo another step closer to practical use in an office or public space, according to Honda.

The robot was introduced in 2000 and has steadily developed to the point where it can run and walk on uneven slopes and surfaces, climb stairs, and reach for and grasp objects.

For the latest version, a new system continuously evaluates the input from multiple sensors, predicts the situation and then determines the behaviour of the robot, meaning that Asimo is now capable of responding to the movement of people and the surrounding situations. This technology also enables it to recognise faces and voices.

It also has strengthened legs, an expanded range of leg movement and a newly developed control technology that enables Asimo to change landing positions mid-movement.

Its hands have tactile and force sensors imbedded in the palm and in each finger. Combined with the object recognition technology, Asimo now possesses greater dexterity, such as being able to pick up a container of liquid and twisting off the cap, or holding a soft paper cup without squashing it.
One exciting prospect of this technology is that Asimo is now capable of making sign language expressions with its hands.
Honda has also introduced a new task-performing robot arm. It was developed while applying multi-joint and posture control technologies to Asimo, and can be controlled remotely to perform tasks in places which are difficult for people to access, such as under rubble in earthquake sites.
If you find Asimo's capabilities hard to believe, check out its site: Asimo
