That eye in the sky provides 2D information that walking robots probably wouldn’t have access to in the real world. At this first level test, Carnegie Mellon has excelled, but getting robots to use their 3D vision to create a 2D map of their area and navigate it…that would be a wonderful next step. Some of the 3D stereo image recognition work has already been done with a navigation robot in Germany. [...] [...] It would also be more impressive if ASIMO couldn’t rely on the overheard camera.

Well, 30 years later, we're all re-buying 8-bit Nintendo games on the Wii. I don't think robots have too much to worry about, other than the usual ignorance and prejudice involved with losing your job to a competitor (witness the demonization in America of Mexican immigrants who take jobs no one living here wants. And the sad truth is, the majority of illegal workers in the US are Canadian, taking the white-collar jobs we DO want, but they go unnoticed because they're not brown.) “It also demonstrated human willingness to interact with the artificial, but would this trend continue once the robot’s novelty wore off?”
