I think you mistook that for a derogatory comment toward the subject of this article. Rather the opposite; I think it's pretty nifty, but for reasons I have yet to ascertain it reminded me of the Clippy parodies that circulated years back...]]>Nov 29th 2007 5:39PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/11/29/microsoft-powered-biped-robot-makes-its-debut/http://www.engadget.com/2007/11/29/microsoft-powered-biped-robot-makes-its-debut/Nov 29th 2007 6:31PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/11/29/microsoft-powered-biped-robot-makes-its-debut/http://www.engadget.com/2007/11/29/microsoft-powered-biped-robot-makes-its-debut/Nov 29th 2007 9:58PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/11/29/microsoft-powered-biped-robot-makes-its-debut/http://www.engadget.com/2007/11/29/microsoft-powered-biped-robot-makes-its-debut/Nov 29th 2007 5:31PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/11/29/microsoft-powered-biped-robot-makes-its-debut/http://www.engadget.com/2007/11/29/microsoft-powered-biped-robot-makes-its-debut/Nov 29th 2007 5:41PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/11/29/microsoft-powered-biped-robot-makes-its-debut/http://www.engadget.com/2007/11/29/microsoft-powered-biped-robot-makes-its-debut/..makes you do some serious thinking, you know?

Sure, it's going to malfunction and try to destroy mankind, but it won't be effective until SP4.

What do you expect? Enslavers of mankind are resource hogs! Plus, there will be all those antitrust lawsuits about not allowing anything other than Microsoft branded murder software to be shipped with all their robots...

Just need to solder on a ridiculous pop gun on the side and we will have an almost perfect replica.

This kids, is why you don't use microsoft, your robot will never properly attach its torso and will walk around like a idiot.

They probably mean to expand it in the future when they have further tested the stability and movement.]]>Nov 29th 2007 6:18PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/11/29/microsoft-powered-biped-robot-makes-its-debut/http://www.engadget.com/2007/11/29/microsoft-powered-biped-robot-makes-its-debut/Nov 29th 2007 6:39PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/11/29/microsoft-powered-biped-robot-makes-its-debut/http://www.engadget.com/2007/11/29/microsoft-powered-biped-robot-makes-its-debut/Nov 29th 2007 7:13PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/11/29/microsoft-powered-biped-robot-makes-its-debut/http://www.engadget.com/2007/11/29/microsoft-powered-biped-robot-makes-its-debut/

All the other robots you see here on Engadget aren't like this- they're remote controlled. This on the other hand, is controlled by a computer or pre-defined actions from the computer. Either way, this is a step toward full blown robots that don't suck.]]>Nov 29th 2007 8:23PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/11/29/microsoft-powered-biped-robot-makes-its-debut/http://www.engadget.com/2007/11/29/microsoft-powered-biped-robot-makes-its-debut/

All of thesecompanies do have off-the-shelves robots available.
It is true that it is still far from consumer bots though...]]>Nov 30th 2007 4:29AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/11/29/microsoft-powered-biped-robot-makes-its-debut/http://www.engadget.com/2007/11/29/microsoft-powered-biped-robot-makes-its-debut/Nov 30th 2007 7:11PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/11/29/microsoft-powered-biped-robot-makes-its-debut/http://www.engadget.com/2007/11/29/microsoft-powered-biped-robot-makes-its-debut/Dec 1st 2007 8:23AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/11/29/microsoft-powered-biped-robot-makes-its-debut/http://www.engadget.com/2007/11/29/microsoft-powered-biped-robot-makes-its-debut/Nov 30th 2007 9:53AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/11/29/microsoft-powered-biped-robot-makes-its-debut/http://www.engadget.com/2007/11/29/microsoft-powered-biped-robot-makes-its-debut/Nov 30th 2007 3:10PM
