Mar 16 2007Walking robot walks for you
I've dreamed of the day I never have to stand up ever again and that dream is slowly becoming a reality. The HUBO-FX1 is a robot designed to walk passengers around up to 220 lbs. It's controlled via an attached joystick and can go forward, backward, and sideways. Plus how awesome would it be to walk down the sidewalk in a giant robot when all your friends are using their puny little human feet. It would be glorious!

I want to call this dude a douche, because of the huge douche-y look on his face, but then I think, "Hey, how would I feel if I were sitting in a chair that walked around for me with big damn robot legs? I bet I'd have a really stupid smile on my face, too."
He still really looks like a douche.

I knew it! Humans are slowly losing the ability to walk! Thanks but no thanks, I'll keep my puny human legs. And how do you turn the damn thing around?

I disapprove, It lacks mobility.
