Baby steps for Dexter the robot (news.com.com)

Watching Dexter jump for the first time in person was surreal. I liked this part from the article:

Anybots aren't designed to be witty sidekicks, like the robot in Lost in Space. Instead, Blackwell envisions that they will perform dirty or dangerous jobs that are unattractive or too risky for humans, like working in environments with hazardous chemicals, moving boxes of papers into storage and helping in situations where one person has to be in several places at the same time.

The Anybots make ASIMO seem like a toy.
