I first heard about Asimo years ago. It cost I think over a million dollars to recharge, and it couldn't do much. This looks epic, though.
Cool, but who really needs a hopping robot? Can this thing even kill a human?

That robot gave me diabetus.
Very impressive. Now let's see it tackle those stairs again.

That was definitely worthy of a "shameful display" moment. But after having failed his first attempt at a Tokyo presentation in December 2006, a month later, ASIMO demonstrated tasks such as kicking a football and walking up and down a set of stairs at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas.
I'll have to look for that footage.
I found it. This was back in 2006, so today's Asimo is much faster.
That's nice and all Honda, now how about some fuel efficient cars?

Exactly what I was thinking upon reading. Glad I'm not confused.
