if this is true Its pretty damn amazing although the Robot/mech/whatever is not fully independant its still hooked up to a Cable, so everything you saw could just be pre programed, neat to see though

The tracking part is pretty neat! The videos look kinda fishy though.

It's all fake. Nothing but fancy 3d animation.

Damn cool, even if its fake, which it probably is. The vid of the transformer stopping the moving vehicle was awesome

theres lots of those on the net, really really look real... but the closest thing this world has to a human like robot its hondas gaybot, which hardly walks up stairs..

but besides you can tell that the videos are fake because the robot doesnt move like a robot... the hardest thing to develope on a robot is balance... that was the main chalange that the developers of qiro had to over come

I seen a videi a while back with some dancing robots that moved real well. Ill see if i can find the link. It was 100% legit though.

yeah so BS

the car stopping video gave it away
the way it moved was too smooth and you could see the color/lighting discrepancy

Isn't asimo the honda robot? QIRO is the one in the movie above (not transformer one)

I though asimo could only just walk up stairs.
