    Very interesting. Shame it doesn’t have a feature built in to right itself. Also, the feet seem very impractical? Small and pointed = more pressure per cm = easier to fall over.

    When you train it long enough it learns how to walk on walls and water, too.

    Cool, but not that cool. It does,after all, have a bloody great rigid umbilical attached to it, and that, surely, is even better than a third leg !

    umm if that wire attached to it can pick the robot up and move it back to point “A” I can only conclude that you have the ability to prevent it from falling backwards!

    We will witness them being armed and send into wars like the one in Irak instead of having to send human beings and loosing lifes. We will also witness organized crime using robots to hold up banks and execute asinations. The future of robotics wont all be fun and games.

    Nice Work. This is exactly what I was trying to demonstrate with my project at university. I feel that this is the only way robots will become truly successful in random environment in which we live. Robots will have to learn from mistakes just like we do. You can read my report on my website (rmcybernetics dot com) under projects, diy devices, robot (MIRC).
