robot masters update
Honda is working on the next generation ASIMO humanoid robot, and their early progress is pretty exciting. ASIMO can run (if only at 3kph), shake hands (thanks to new sensors), avoid obstacles, and cock its head as though to ask, "Why do I only have a 1-hour battery?"
The Honda ASIMO site has video clips of the research model -- pretty impressive stuff.

Whoops! That was me playing fast and loose with the cut-n-paste. The link has been corrected. Thanks, Jaime!
