So now if we allow this humanoid to learn as a human does, the machine is going to reach out to touch the item whenever possible. How can you not anthropomorphize the creation? I'd be an intresting study myself, as I'd always want to hold it's hand. I'd guess it had the mannerisms of a two or three year old. An interesting set of scientific observations would be just to see how this model interacts with people in general. I'd bet lots of touching, hand holding, and hugging. Time for another robot/children classroom study. Consider this: When you have a machine modelled after the human mechanism, it becomes easy to refer to the machine as a humanoid.

How do we tell if something is like a chair? We compare its physical characteristics to the image of "chair" (as a meme) that we store in our brains, and make an educated decision. This is pretty much what ASIMO is doing.

However the significance of the illustrated abilities is definitely overrated. This is only an image recognition task, something that has become mainstream at least in academic circles. If instead of ASIMO's body they had used a static webcamera connected to an ol' boring server noone would even notice this video. So to sum up they've done a better PR job than research job.
