It would be better if (and maybe it's the case but I don't know) it was able to figure out how to complete tasks instead of having them pre-programmed.

Still, most walking robots are awful piles of wires and sensors that walk like a drunk man. This is a big step.

Yeah that's true but it's just showing off how well they can program pre-determined crap that doesn't help anybody.
The way I look at it is it's just a ton of joints moving at the same time.. Not an artificial intelligence by any means. It's just a machine that is honestly useless to everyone right now. If it had a useful function for people, then I'd appreciate it more. Understand what I'm trying to say?

That's what I was thinking until I saw it pouring stuff from that thermos into a cup. Then I was like "maybe this robot can pour me a stiff drink so the incoming idiot weaboo comments about how this proves japan's superiority won't be as painful to read"

Yes, sir.

Also I think it mgiht be able to do some things on it's own, in fact read this and it explains some of it.

I'll read it later but I definitely will read it.
