I'm not convinced. The snow walking was very impressive, as was the robot getting pushed around and self-recovering, but there are so many variables to take into account with even the simplest of tasks, I think we're still a fair few years off TBH. I mean, could it lift a non square object on a gradient without falling over?

Was I the only one waiting for the robot to get hacked off with being pushed around and give the bloke a slap?

I was listening to Steve Wright this afternoon, the chap on the show reckons we will see robots in the 20's doing simple tasks for humans or taking humans jobs away

I'm old enough to believe that this will come...and that it WILL remove jobs, just as automation has done. Despite us having been ASSURED that automation would simply give us more leisure time.

After all, computers were invented to help us, now they run some aspects of our life.

Has no-one else come across "Computer says NO!" ???

Could probably replace the majority of the Chinese workforce with robots.

And Siri understands me better than the average foreign call centre worker.

Dude, I've met folk on benefits, where on EARTH do you get £500 a week from?

Because no-one I knew did. My own lads were on £46 when out of work.

Very impressive, it won't be long before they don't need the man with the remote control ;-)

It seems to me that the designers spend an inordinate amount of time making the robot stable on two legs, when four legs and a set of arms would make much more sense. It least that silly sod couldn't knock it over with a stick!
