I love Asimo!

Have you seen this commerical before?

It's about Honda's humanoid robot which walks, gaits, runs at a moderate speed like a human. This robo has lot of intelligence embedded in it, the best is gesture movement recogonition. The subtle mode of communication used by humans is gestures. Understanding gestures is easy, teaching them to a human is easy, but programming them as rules to a machine is a nightmare. Asimo is amazing robo! And the best part of commercial is Asimo's reaction to water drops on its face (rather helmet with cameras and brain inside). The reflex actions are human-like. I love Asimo!
