Speaking of Asimo...I saw a Honda ad for him during prime time on t.v.
earlier this week! They were talking about how he is gonna be able to take
care of people (be their eyes, ears, hands etc.). I thought this to be quite
the astonishing turn of events since my understanding was that their
(Honda's) market was gonna be Japan. I am pleased to see robotics get such a
main stream plug.

In an article on robots on How Stuff Works website,
http://www.howstuffworks.com/robot1.htm
the site cites several 'famous' robots people are likely to be familiar • with.
Mindstorms may be last but probably not least in our culture's recognition • of
robots.

!I! would certainly list Mindstorms before Hal from 2001: A Space Odyssey
