Default Goodbye Asimo, enjoy your retirement....

I didn't see his retirement mentioned here but Asimo is done. He really didn't advance quite like he should have.

Here is were Disney is at with their robotics, Asimo wasn't even close, but, he was 18 years older.......

That was cool . . . both video were fun to watch. Amazing but not surprising that Disney is ahead of the curve. I can't imagine how neat their self driving vehicles will be to take people from the parking lots, etc. but you know its just around the corner.

ASIMO is my co-pilot. Have one glued to the dash of my Civic.

Seems like a robot that can hop on one foot and kick a soccer ball is doing much more complex tasks than one that can simply assume a position in the air before landing in a net. But I can see where Disney is heading and it's impressive.
