Robots Take To the Stairs 85
Singularity Hub writes "Robots can climb stairs, and they are doing it everywhere you look. 'No big deal' you say, but it really is a big deal. Five to ten years ago, almost nobody was doing it. Now grad students are doing it all by themselves for thesis projects. Check out our review of robots navigating stairs, which includes some awesome videos."

That's because 5-10 years ago, there wasn't a contemporary Dr. Who on TV. Robot designers had no clue with our limited human intelligence on how to get robots up the stairs. Upon the reemergence of the new Dr. Who, that one command "ELEVATE" and the new race of Daleks taught us humans to imagine robots going up stairs.
"Remembrance of the Daleks" first depicted a Dalek going up stairs, and without a verbal command to do so. October 1988.

Robots have gone down the stairs.
Do not trust the Duradin robot. He is malfunctioning.
Shoving is the answer.
