Sony engineers, on the other hand, have to think about how running really works and then program their Qrio robot to make it happen. It's much more than just a sequence of commands, by the way: Qrio must respond to its environment and adjust its body movements in real time to stay in balance. A slight slope, for example, requires an immediate adjustment in the robot's stride. There's also the not-so-easy task of transitioning from a standing position to a jog.
As usual, Sony is well ahead of the game on robots. The United States remains a laggard in the world of robotics, while Japanese companies continue to make great strides with robots like Qrio. The first humanoid robot you own, by the way, will almost certainly be made in Japan.

"Big Tech and mainstream media are constantly trying to silence the independent voices that dare to bring you the truth about toxic food ingredients, dangerous medications and the failed, fraudulent science of the profit-driven medical establishment.
Email is one of the best ways to make sure you stay informed, without the censorship of the tech giants (Google, Apple, Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, etc.). Stay informed and you'll even likely learn information that may help save your own life."
