Why don't they teach that robot to punch the snot outta that guy that keeps messing with it? Who wouldn't applaud that action? Despite what Asimov's rules may be ..." a robot may not injure a human being"... just a little "eye-for-an-eye" to that SOB with a (wink wink) accidental kick in his comeuppance.

Alas there is one missing behavior: pummel the guy with the hockey stick. Otherwise, brilliant work.

I'd have been even more impressed had the robot broken it's fall after being pushed

I have to admit I was startled by how much I "felt" for the machines as I saw them correct through the disturbances. Too much empathy for sure.

They have definitely made great improvements, what is the power source? Sounds like a small quite generator strapped to it's back.
How cost effective is it compared to cheap labor? It could realistically see abuse like this if destined to replace laborers today.
Interesting how it gets up on it's own.
Well done how much?

LOL. This is why robots will hate us eventually. J/K
That is friggin impressive.

I think I found my new friend! :) It walks like I do coming home from the pub. Seriously, so impressed to see it not only walk through uneven terrain, but wet, possibly slick surfaces too. Watching it auto-correct itself on the little bump or two it walked over blew me away. Again though, it's all about battery life; until there is some miraculous breakthrough in autonomous power supplies, this thing has to be sucking up the juice.

I for one, welcome our robotic overlords

@Paul Anthony: That would have been impressive, but I know many people who wouldn't have been able to do that.
