If this claim is indeed shown to be false, Anybots and its owners (i.e., Trevor Blackwell and company) have possibly ruined their own credibility. the claim that this robot is the first dynamically balancing biped appears false (one can do a cursory search on the internet to view several earlier robotic bipeds with claims of dynamic balance).

Some lab tried to get a bit more PR than it really needed. The blurb about the Asimo is simply false (i dont work for Honda or whatever). The current ASIMO does in fact use ZMP (aka dynamic) - based balancing. And if you wanna see a REALLY good humanoid robot, (that can in fact stand up if completely pushed over) check out the now-cancelled Sony SDR-4X aka the QRIO. this robot and the accompanying press releases are all complete bs (unfortunately).
