I have never seen a video of an ASIMO-type bot recovering from a fall.

Manufacturer's showreel for an cargo-carrying walking (or, rather, jogging) robot.. Admittedly that's four legs rather than Asimo's two, and clearly it's waaay too power-hungry for UMSF applications today. Luckily, there are no free launch slots for the next decade or so, anyway... :>

...that is the creepiest robot ever...
it looks like they (the legs) are practicing to carry Han Solo's frozen carbonite slab

There's plenty of examples. That's if you can get them to fall over by pushing in the first place.
