Hello

I agree with what is said. Just to point out that the robots from our
company understand this concept and are especially good at getting up if
they fall down.

I see much effort on making robots perfect and little effort on making
robots able to recover.  Even with my brain, I sometimes fall, sometimes
get "situationally challenged" (admitting getting lost, causes large tab
at officer's club), drop screws, etc.  But I get up, figgure out where I
am, and crawl around on the floor to find the screw.  Any walking robot
needs to be able to get up because it will fall.
