i have a bunch of videos that i took when i went to the toyota showroom in japan this summer... i should upload them to youtube sometime

there was a little seal that would respond when you pet (petted?) it and they had a video on some pretty amazing (and sometimes awkwardly funny) soccer playing robots

 

[Speedball]

YAY!!!
So Honda is making the Terminators...
Do they have something called Skynet in production as well?

 

[Motown Marvel]

"whenever you're ready, Asimo"
"i am ready"
"good....KILL!"

I loved how that thing was moving! Give it 15 years and we can see it perform interpretive dance!

[Tangled Web]

That's kind of creepy.

"Fifty years from know, thinking robots will refer to little Asimo for information about what the world was like when humans were still in control"

I think you should wait for the Japanese school girl androids.

Why would it be jogging in the first place? can robots get fat

Well, the robot, it's not running fast is it? It looked like it was jogging... and... DOH!

 

[Ice-man]

See i dont like robots, pretty soon these smaller less acurate and less gracefull robots, well be full on, walking talking, almost human like androids.

but the thing i really dont like is, robots can learn, they have a computer for a brain, it will figure things out, it will start to realize, it can become the dominent life form..

and the thing is, robots taking over the world is true... be prepared for one nasty revolutionary war between androids/robots and human kind.


i hope this doesnt happen in our lifetime though.

robots bad...

human good...
