Well, I went to Disneyland yesterday and they had a show with Honda's latest robot named Asimo. He still walks like a robot just a little faster and is 100 times more mobile. They had him walking up stairs and back down.
Now the only thing that got me to thinking that Asimo isn't as "smart" as they are claiming because when the guy doing the presentation asked him how tall he was, Asimo answered and the guy was only halfway through the question. Made me think that everything programmed into him was more or-so put into him specifically for the show.
