The comments section was rather interesting.

Here is a video:

Apart from the external shape, they are still a LONG way before we can say that they cloned Asimo.

Notice in the end of the above video the attempted walking sequence, and compare it to a video of Asimo of the past year:

The NAO is very nice, too bad for the price tag of 18K US$ otherwise it could make an hell of a present.

An alternative could be the KHR-2HV at only 1500 US$
