I remember I first see asimo when I was like 11 and now I'm 21 . Impressive

Great video keep up the good work.

It's amazing how the other foot is completely stationary while he hops on the other, like only a robot can do :)

@darkchamp777 On your 31st birthday will be the bitch that is going to jump out of your cake...Impressive!! :)

@bluepawn Then SkyNet will achieve sentience.

@cusbrar1 "toe" motor has any effect all motors must read what is happening and respond accordingly, arms for example,these are serious calculations just for one set of motors,"arms", so if all motors work together i would only assume that they would need double cpu speed or more cpu's for the balance alone, they are using somewhat new tech "digital gyroscope" which is what creates balance , feet are flat so balance is easy, with "toes" is more difficult .

Impressive

@dfhoho Why do you expect it will increase processor usage? I would expect it to somewhat but not all that much unless they code the algorithm terribly.

almost there !! now they need to quantify the "toe lift"of coarse you may realize we jump using ours toes for optimal jump distance, this would mean collaborating the shin motors to create equilibrium and not toss Asimo off. this will not be easy as it will increase cpu usage considerably.
