Very cool that. Anyone know is it pre programmed or remotely controlled. I suspect the first. 50 years time and it'll be looked upon as very
crude. Like the first calculator.

i believe they tell it what to do, and it works out how to do it.

Now I know I'm just being a big sap here, but I've always thought it looked a bit lonely in the Honda advert when it was looking round the
museum, especially when it waved at the spacesuit.

But one day, instead of performing a command it's just going to turn to the operator and give them the finger, at that they must grind it to
bits...

its cool but they should give it more legs and arms, why limit it on our design?
why not make it four legged so it can run fast but have arms like a centaur? or something like species 8472 off voyager?
or like an insect creature such as the shadows?
