ASIMO January 17, 2006

I bet you already heard of ASIMO, Honda’s humanoid robot. Last month they introduced a new ASIMO, capable of pursuing key tasks in a real-life environment.
“(…) the New ASIMO can walk along with you (holding your hand if you wish), and features advanced mobility, to the extent that ASIMO can now move carts and other objects around at will. And, with a newly developed total control system that controls all of ASIMO’s functions, ASIMO can autonomously act as a receptionist, or even deliver drinks on a tray. The New ASIMO is also more agile than before, being able to run at 6km/h, and even turn whilst running.”
Honda published several videos online so we could watch it perform these tasks and more, along with some videos of the previous model. You can see them here.
I don’t think that the time when we’ll be living with “asimos” hanging around on the streets and in our workplace is that far away, at this pace…
