Falling ASIMO (Proof: pre-2004 model)
It’s funny when people fall, right? I guess it depends on your age sense of humor. What about when robots fall over? Here’s the video that’s catching all the attention, ASIMO falling down a flight of stairs with sparks and the whole shebang (with some added music for entertainment value). Contrary to popular belief, this particular model is not the latest model (see below). Nonetheless, I think I felt as sorry for him as I would have felt for a person. Fortunately, he doesn’t need a 12 month rehabilitation period as we organic losers do (although, he might need a new brain).
Tracing the source, the video seems to have originated here, and then someone added the “funny music” and posted to YouTube.
Unfortunately, I couldn’t find any information on when this happened. I even BabelFished the Japanese page that seems to have posted the video first. But it’s certainly not the latest ASIMO, or the 2004 model — it’s older. Sorry robohaters, here’s the proof:
Well. I think we can call it an entry, Watson.
For those who want, here are the most recent videos of the new ASIMO.

Its great that there are people who arent blind. I was thinking the same thing, is the backpack a bit too big for the newest model? maybe in 30 years asimos have taker over the world, but who cares?
