A humanoid robot designed and developed by Honda.
Introduced on 21 October 2000, ASIMO was designed to be a multi-functional mobile assistant.
At 130 cm (4 ft 3 in) tall
and 48 kg (106 lb), ASIMO was designed to operate in real-world environments,
with the ability to walk or run on two feet at speeds of up to 6 kilometres per
hour (3.7 mph).
With aspirations of helping
those who lack full mobility, ASIMO is frequently used in demonstrations across
the world to encourage the study of science and mathematics.
In addition to ASIMO's ability to walk like we do, it can also understand
pre-programmed gestures and spoken commands, recognize
voices and faces and interface
with IC Communication cards. ASIMO has arms and hands so it can
do things like turn on light
switches, open doors, carry objects, and push carts. ASIMO could also do
jobs that are too dangerous for humans to do, like going
into hazardous areas, disarming bombs, or fighting fires.

If any, what are the flaws of the ASIMO robot?
ReplyDeleteDo you think we should try to improve it so that it could do more than it already can or do you even think that it's necessary to do so?
To be sure, Asimo is an incredibly sophisticated device, technologically speaking. But as we all know robots are still robots they may make our work lighter but we can't depend to them forever. :)

Yes, the Honda Company and currently, the Honda ASIMO robot is not classified as water-proof. :)
