ASIMO robot impresses by navigating changing terrain

Meh, seems a little high-level. I'd imagine there are a lot of ways to cheat around moving obstacles such as the spinners, simply by encoding "spinner recognition" into the Asmio's environment models.

What I'm extremely surprised about is the lack of development in robots with evolved morphologies - it seems silly to mimic the human anatomy of tendons and muscles with motors and gears.

That is some seriously excellent work on dynamic path finding right there. I'm glad that AI is still chugging along slowly.
