Robots have come a long way since Ibn Ismail Ibn al-Razzaz Al-Jazari made his drinking boat. Their moving close and closer towards perfection, but perhaps in that way farther from humans.
Enter "Advanced Step in Innovative MObility," better known as ASIMO. Honda's famous robot that has been touring the world and greets dignitaries with a certain grace rarely seen in a robot, until one faithful day that was captured on video and put on the Internet (Google Video), as everything is nowadays.
I'm sure we should thank the crew at Honda,who quickly hid ASIMO and shut down the event to the laughter of the crowd.
I first caught this on Engadget.
