    Truth is robot software has a long way to go. The movement and path calculation is simple compared to interaction with the environment.

    It's the same as in the previous ten years for a power solution, however, brains are now arriving! Humanoids need two things - better batteries and better brains. When ASIMO took a hit while climbing stairs, it was obvious what had happened. When e-vehicles become popular, fuel cells will likely be perfected and used in humanoids, unless Japan invents a power cell first, specifically for robots. We are now at the doorstep of having a product solution at hand for a big brain in humanoid heads with the parallel-processor-enhanced solution. Let's hope ASIMO will be among the first customers for a new brain.

    Given the fact they have come this far, the hand raising should be easy to fix. I like the quirkiness, maybe it will teach people to put down their CEDs lol.
