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... :> -------------------- --

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

I have never seen a video of an ASIMO-type bot recovering from a fall. There's plenty of examples. That's if you can get them to fall over by pushing in the first place. Andy |
