My uncle sent me this link and I wanted to share.

I almost felt sorry for it when the man attempted to kick it over and when it was on the ice. :lol:

Oh Pam...me too... I think it is the animal legs that give it an animal personality so we think it shouldn't be treated that way...LOL!

[Diane]

That's amazing...
Even though it's not "real"... I didn't like the pushing either, but I think it was only done to demonstrate how well it could balance.

Not that long ago my dh showed me one of a human like robot... I couldn't believe what all it could do. Kind of scary when you think about it.

I was thinking that too. I felt sorry for it having to carry such heavy loads. lol

Ds2 has a couple of robots, my favorite is his R2D2, it really does seem to have it's own personality. Great fun.
Diane, that's incredible. They looked almost cute the way the walked, like they were little kids tip toeing around. lol
