Isaac Asimov was a science fiction writer. And i guess they stole his name as a tribute to him for inventing the laws of robotics. BTW ut was rather impressive to see a robot run...

A few years back they could barely walk. In a few years they will be competing in the olympics.

I think Asimov would be pleased, expect for the fact that US Robotics wheren't involved. Where can I get one?

It's not really running. Both feet have to leave the ground at the same time for it to be running. It's just walking really fast.

A bit of contemplation... (might be an interesting discusion) Indeed running would be facinating, but take a
close look at the robot. First of all it's legs and the way it stands. It's pose -let's call it that- is as it's
ready to walk or "run" at any momen't. Try to start running from that pose. I believe that the legs wouldn't go straight (as they should when a human is standing) because that would be a gain in flexibility in the cost of durability and strength (which is required as i will state later). Because it doens't have muscles it can't move fast enough as to place his feet under the falling weight, because wen we run we lean a bit forward (not just the uper body, but even the legs are pitched) and so fe "fall" straight wich is running. That leads to the other part. The robot is made out of some rather elastic, strong and light matterial (the outer part or " the shell"). That is so it would weigh less. Even though it's not obvious it seems that it is heavy, wich produces the need to exclude any heavy unimportant matterial. The whole weight is on the inside, the whole procecor and so on. Now about the procecor. Try lifting your pc, and imagine a lot more of them (say 5 to 10 (maybe more), can't say the real number because i do not know the matterial) and you can imagine how much it wheighs (just the procecors and the "shell"). Then there is the matter of the movement. There has to be some kind of "engine" and moving parts which by shifting move the limbs. it consists of many parts, so imgaine all that weight. It must be a few hundred kilograms... Now imagine a man weighing so much running... So in conclusion, fir such a ribit ti run a lot of parts must be made out of very light parts. Btetter yet if the inside would mimic something of a human muscle constructure. And since there are a lot of commands it can do we should looks forward to new procesor technology that will make the tiny chips even tinyer.

Asimo weighs 54Kg and you can't compare a robot that costs $1 million to a $400 PC. And the "engine" you're talking about is called electric actuators driven by a NiMH-battery.

ASIMO (アシモ, ashimo?) is a humanoid robot created by Honda Motor Company. Standing at 130 centimeters (4 feet 3 inches) and weighing 54 kilograms (119 lbs.), the robot resembles a small astronaut wearing a backpack and can walk on two feet in a manner resembling human locomotion at up to 6 km/h (3.7 mph). ASIMO was created at Honda's Research & Development Wako Fundamental Technical Research Center in Japan. It is the current model in a line of eleven that began in 1986 with E0.
Officially, the name is an acronym for "Advanced Step in Innovative MObility". Honda's official statements[1] indicate that the robot's name is not an homage to science fiction writer and inventor of the Three Laws of Robotics, Isaac Asimov. In Japanese, the name is pronounced ashimo and, not coincidentally, means "legs also" (from Japanese "è„šã‚‚").
As of 2005, there were 30 ASIMO units in existence.[2] Each one costs less than $1 million to manufacture,[3] and some units are available to be hired out for $166,000 per year.[4]

guys yes this is real for those that think its a kid are being very pessimistic you know for what weve come up with technology its about tiem we start putting everything to use ust noone wants to share ideas to better others. yes this is real its beein in prototype for a long time.
