Don't worry, it's not some sort of Ursula-in-Fantasmic kinda thing. It's a perfectly work-safe link (unless you happen to work at Honda, then people might not appreciate it).

It looks to me like it* either completely locked up, or went into some sort of fail-safe mode. It's knee buckles, and I wonder if there's some routine that says, "Well, the outer shell of this thing's pretty shock resistant, less chance of damage if I just fall rather than put incorrect pressure on the knee joint, so time to bail." It didn't make any more movements after the knee gave out, so either the power went dead or it purposely froze to prevent further damage.

I also want to know why this video is tagged with the keywords "Giant" and "Vegetation".




* I stick with "it" because I don't feel like assigning gender, I don't want to keep saying "Asimo," and English continues to lack a gender neutral pronoun that doesn't imply non-being status.

But think of the fun you could have at a Lawn and Garden show with an 8' long caterpillar shaped robot!

My eyes saw ' but my mind read ''. I giggled. Must be the cold medicine...

I have days like this, and I wish I had some lackeys to put a screen around me!

Because unless they installed an anthropomorphic penis on the thing it has no sex. :rolleyes:

So.... ASIMO is an ASIMAPHRODITE !! :eek:
