Freakin' hilarious, and whether or not to take it seriously is probably your own opinion.
My own would be that it is probably fully functional AND "Super Happy Mega-Fun"! |

anyone seen that Cheech Maranis film (sp?) still smoking? (possibly) where he is talking to the fish...imagine how freaked you'd be if you were sitting there having a fly toke, or even just a sandwich, by the river bank and that thing popped up in front of you.
i want one though...not sure why...i just do... |

This site from Honda is really neat with lots of videos to view http://world.honda.com/HDTV/ASIMO/#SlideFrame_1
Especially amusing was "Greeting Passers By" and "The Press Conference" is a pretty good overviewof what Asimo can do. I also found the "Asimo Joins Science Class" good, goes to show why the Japanese are way ahead of our kids in the USA in science. The streaming seems slow so you may want to pause until it mostly is loaded and then play. |
