I don't know how many of you have heard of the ASIMO series of walking robots. I saw one of the earlier models do a demo show back in college. Honda stopped the whole project in 2018 because it wasn't profitable. Plus, y'know, it wasn't actually leading to artificial intelligence, the robots were essentially remote-controlled all the time.
Anyway, here are some clips of robots falling off stairs. I shudder to think of the repair costs, and they probably had to replace the gyroscope after every fall. And the amazing thing that I learned today is that Garrison Keillor once narrated a Honda commercial featuring ASIMO.
