ASIMO is the culmination of two decades of humanoid robotics research by Honda engineers.
ASIMO can run, walk on uneven slopes and surfaces, turn smoothly, climb stairs,
and reach for and grasp objects. ASIMO can also comprehend and respond to
simple voice commands. ASIMO has the ability to recognize the face of a select group of individuals.
Using its camera eyes,
ASIMO can map its environment and register stationary objects. ASIMO can also avoid moving
obstacles as it moves through its environment. As development continues on ASIMO,
today Honda demonstrates ASIMO around the world to encourage and inspire
young students to study the sciences. And in the future, ASIMO may serve
as another set of eyes, ears, hands and legs for all kinds of people in need.
Someday ASIMO might help with important tasks like assisting the elderly
or a person confined to a bed or a wheelchair. ASIMO might also perform certain
tasks that are dangerous to humans, such as fighting fires or cleaning up toxic spills. |
