Honda Humanoid and Mobility Device

29Dec

In 1986 Honda engineers set out to create a humanoid robot that would have similar qualities of a human being.  The new humanoid is the first step in getting that functionality in a robot. ASIMO, which stands for Advanced Step in Innovative Mobility, is the only humanoid robot that can walk up and down stairs on its own and run at speeds up to four miles per hour.  This robot has advanced abilities that allow human interaction which allows it to understand and carry out more commands.  Tasks include carrying trays, pushing carts, and much more.

Honda hopes that some day it will help elderly or disabled people with day to day tasks like answering the door, getting the mail, remember to take pills or even some day to walk the dog.

This is truly an amazing robot, something out of a sci-fi movie. You have to check this new humanoid out. Watch the video below and check Honda.com for updates on ASIMO.

This just reiterates why so many people continue to buy a Honda.
