I honestly can't believe they robots can ascertain that kind of fluidity of motion. Of course, it was probably done by a bunch of motion-capture suits, but the fact that the bots can adjust themselves so that they remain perfectly balanced is really astounding. Robots are not just the clunking beeping metallic-voiced droids people invisioned in the 60's anymore.
It sort of frightens me just how in-depth computers can think with the right programming, at least through means of logic. For instance, there is a computer program that allows one (who knows the coded language the program uses) to ask their computer questions, with the computer identifying itself as an entity, fully aware that it is artificial.
I once read one of the conversations held between the computer and user. The conversation had to be translated because the responses were in code, but generally, the user asked things like what a human was, and what humans normally sought in life. It was quite intruiging what the logic engine perceived of human beings and their wants from a 3rd person perspective from us.
The user asked the computer if it was a human. It responded the basic differences between a human and itself. Finally, the user asked the computer if it wished it were human. The computer answered simple "No."
Trippy, but intruiging...
