First Dynamically Balancing Biped Robot 155
damg writes "Anybots, which is three guys led by Trevor Blackwell, has developed the first robot that walks like we do, by dynamically balancing itself rather than being pre-programmed for walking like Asimo. The video shows the robot walking and being pushed by another 'bully' robot to demonstrate that it can't easily be pushed over."

Gets out of bed, goes to the fridge, pulls out a soda and pours a coffee, then sits at the computer for 12-20 hours stopping only to walk to the door to receive food deliveries, go to the fridge to get another soda, and to the bathroom to remedy the situation that the previous two types of activities has caused?

Well, it doesn't walk like I do, but it walks a hell of a lot like my dad does!

After dozens of "tests", the first robot declared war on the human race, and had to be burned!
It was determined that building a Pusher Robot, would save lives and money, and therefore built.

Oh, and I'm still waiting for the dynamically balancing Natalie Portman lookalike robot to emerge (petrified and complete with hot grits).
