In The Netherlands, libraries are giving away copies of Asimov´s I, Robot all through November. It´ll help create awareness of the problems involved.

The gymnastics event at the robot Olympics will be interesting.

I wonder if it could skateboard, that would take some coordination.

If it can backflip it could skateboard, without going fakey. But that’s only at the moment. Bipedal robots were a fantasy 30 years ago after all.

Alas, Ronald, a problem on the not-too-distant horizon but not yet recognized by many.  Embed A.I., hook them up to Google and involve drones, and we could have Skynet and Terminators. Maybe not today, but 10 years from now. Couple that with a "sheeple" populace, ones who actually want driverless cars because they can't be bothered to take their eyes off of the Kardashians on their cellphones, and who will stop them?

Unfortunately they won't have the Rules of Robots programming. I, Robot meets  Fahrenheit 451 meets 1984?

that last clip has to be fake, looks too much like he is suspended from a wiring rig that was erased with cgi, the movement has the look of a pendulum in some parts, and it seems to defy Newtons laws of motion + the guy would have to have otherworldly dexterity.

I don’t know what they’ve done with the chassis, but I’m guessing that most of this capability upgrade came from better software. That... impresses me.
