Interesting. It's clear from this and other robot videos I've seen that roboticists are getting scaringly good at mimicking human movements with machines. But I didn't want to keep seeing the damn thing do the same moves from supine to squat over and over and over from different angles. I wanted to see it go from supine to squat to STANDING UP.
(I'm sure the programmers thought -- as programmers will -- "Oh, that's the easy part. We'll just leave that out and just show the hard part over and over. A guy from Marketing would have have straightened them out on THAT issue!)
Hee! I kept yelling "Stand up. Stand up! Dammit, stand up you piece of shit robot!" at the screen while watching this, gaining me some very curious looks from my husband.
