some of you guys might be interested in taking a look at the information on the honda site - http://www.honda.co.jp/english/technology/robot/index.html - about their new prototype humanoid robot. (how much would i like to play with one of these?) there's a fair bit of interesting quicktime footage: stair-climbing, cart pushing, and just walking ( http://www.honda.co.jp/english/technology/robot/walk.mov ). believe me, when you see it, i think you'll know why i'm pointing it out - a very interesting movement quality...now maybe this is just me being fanciful, but check out the walking movie, and tell me that the gait is anything other than unmistakably japanese. slow it down (lots!) and it *would* be doing butoh... guy hilton gorgeous co - www.gorgeous.org.uk
