Every time I'm bent way over and pick up something I'm amazed it even works without me tipping over. I guess that's as much our hips and legs, but it's still pretty amazing.

Back injuries suck and all but it seems like the job it has to do is insanely complex. I don't think anyone could design a robot that could bend over and pick up stuff for 80 years without needing repairs.
