Robots take one step closer to humankind. Honda’s celebrated robot ASIMO arrives on U.S. shores at CES this week, prepared to exhibit capabilities never before seen in the States. Hourly demonstrations at the Honda booth include balancing on a floor that tilts and moves, climbing stairs, and walking up and down a slope. After hours, he’ll be demonstrating techniques for replacing American workers and searching for Sarah Connor. Do you see robots entering our daily life any time soon? Let us know.

Let me know when it can do dishes, scrub the toilet, and wash the floors. Maybe then I'll get rid of my wife! But I doubt it.

I can't believe the day is finally here when a true "droid" is amonst us.This is no doubt the first of many to come, with advancements that only we could imagine right now. Are we in danger of our lively hood? I hope not. Wouldn't mind having one for tedious work. DirtyDaMa.com
