Asimo is old xenn, they've already made an improved version called Qrio. And, I've known about alot of the technology in this NS-5 for several years, they must of gotten it right apparently. I think if it is real, it's a testimate to what people can do if they take all the available technology and put it together. People, don't really do that. If we put all the technology we had into cars we'd probably have flying hover cars able to go around the world in a few hours and go in any direction and any speed, heck probably able to go into space.
I dunno if it is real or not, but I do remember seeing that commercial for it on NBC primetime. During a commercial break of dateline.
The muscles I believe were started more then 5 years ago, the original ones were large metal bands that contracted magnetically when given electricity - the military was working on them for machines and stuff, and I guess they found a better way to work them into weaved fibers (which is what that looks like). The other parts we already have, the only thing that's really special is that super computer for a brain. Go nanotech if its real.
The brain is iffy though, the best super computers ibm and stuff haven't even gotten to that point yet... I'm pretty sure they can do all the other parts except the brain, if its not real, it's either a terrible prank or a movie.
What I've learned from living in this country : America is a bad word, so is Religion.
