Every once in a while I like to check in with the Singularity; see where we're at with it. Today I checked out Honda's Asimo.
I still don't see the point of making robots look like humans, but I can say they've made a lot of progress in that direction. Asimo is certainly humanlike. If you can stand the hype check out Honda's infomercial on Asimo. It makes some good points about what robots are and why.
Won't be long now.
Sorry, the posts are so short lately, but I'm under the weather and my surfing/thinking time is limited.
