destroyed buildings, including a school. | :00:44. | :00:45. | |

You are looking through the eyes of a very humanlike robot. | :00:58. | :01:01. | |
It is designed to work in disaster zones and even go into space, | :01:02. | :01:09. | |

This is an exciting and very compact piece of machinery. | :01:16. | :01:26. | |
Its hardware capabilities are amazing, | :01:27. | :01:30. | |

There is now a robonaut which is a robot with | :02:02. | :02:12. | |
just the upper torso on the ISS space station. | :02:13. | :02:14. | |
It has not yet done any space walks outside, but I think | :02:15. | :02:17. | |
the Valkyrie is taking that to the next generation, | :02:18. | :02:19. | |
potentially working on the surface of Mars. | :02:20. | :02:21. | |

How difficult is it for your dad to get around everyday? | :03:33. | :03:39. | |

He should be helping the children and | :03:53. | :03:54. | |
the wife, but instead, we are helping him. | :03:55. | :03:56. | |
