The hiccups of Hinamitetu

You have followed the progress here of Hinamitetu, the gymnast robot now capable of doing a somersault over a fixed bar then catching itself without falling. It should be clear here: this remarkable performance has not been achieved without pains. You have to suffer and persevere to reach perfection. In the meantime Hinamitetu had a few falls that would make you smile ;-) It's funny but you won't laugh because what this robot can accomplish remains exceptional all the same. It's Friday, enjoy this moment of relaxation: Bing ow ow ow... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P54GiKmpJtY Failed but without falling: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uORniNpz1SA From behind... and bing again: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qWmvEm9Ysnc Ouch! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ds5cb24xM6Y
