Rated • 2 reviews • robotics, video, robot, honda, asimo • google.com
a google video of an asimo demonstration in japan, but different than the other gazillion asimo demonstrations, this one is a major flop. asimo falls during the stair climbing exercise and it sounds so much like a toy truck or some big doll crashing down it almost feels sad. his verbal demonstration continues to roll on after he's down but producers shut down the show immediately.

A bright yellow slime mould that can grow to several metres in diameter has been put in charge of a scrabbling, six-legged robot.
