Honda Asimo commercial by W+K

[maizurunoshin]

Gundam gives a lot of dreams and possibilities. It is recommended that you watch the Gundam series.

[HelloKellen]

such a powerful and beautiful commercial

[greineisen84]

I like to walk like Asimo. I like the name Asimo.

[williamsdemo12]

when is asimo coming out to have in your house

[G1NZOU]

It's available for rent, costs so much only places like disneyland can afford it though.

Seven years, maybe.

[Bratatatat]

so cute. one of the best ads ever seen

[YukiKirai]

That's so wild, and i'm so mad and sad and upset that I wont be aorund to see these things on the streets. We'll be long gone when robots and such are everyday things.

Just wanna live forever!

[Chance411]

@YukiKirai

Search for Ray Kurzweil on youtube and listen to his ideas about the exponential function and singularity with regard to technology. The future may be closer than you think!

Oh and Asimov will be available to comsumers as early as 1 or 2 years.

[akomako2]

he looks like a man in a robot costume when he was mimicing the airplane:P soo cute!

[Hiuaske]

lol Asimo is so itenlligent good job japan cant wait for them to prob be o nthe streets and in our homes probably around maybe 2012 asimo is so curious the ai is so human like go japan progress our technoligy further! :D also america rules too cept not concentrating on making robots no one knows if U.S was working on robots they would be done with that. im American born in Colo springs co.

[emorykon]

i dont know why but this add makes me cry :(

[h3e44]

me 2

[G1NZOU]

This ad makes me emotional too.

There's something about Asimo that makes him really endearing.

[nextme1819]

wow! a commerical of robot! can u believe it?

i`m just happy living in this times!

holy!!! what comes next?

[mrkidz23]

When Honda put their hand into something it's simply one of the best. Who would thought of a car maker could make the most intelligent robot...

[clairzy2000]

I find that remarable, but I feel somewhat uneasy about the robots. ASIMO is fine, but I just feel uncomfortable about such a concept being advanced. I guess I'm being paranoid.

[waiu0235]

Someday in the future, the Japanese will somehow invent a "Gundam" XD

[tempac91]

Sadly, not in our lifetime. :(

[ASoaringPenguin]

That is REALLY cool. Maybe he'll be the first iRobot type robot. The model that DIDN'T go insane. LOL

[tazounet612]

asimo the first humanoide on Mars

[guyanese4lyf]

proper

[redblueice]

That was quite impressive, Honda have come a long way, everyone could learn a thing or two from them, who'd of thought a car company made robot's too?

[jonabig]

wow thats the most coolest robot i have ever seen in my life... in fact its got to be the coolest thing i seen in my life

[boat2nowhere]

ASIMO is the worlds most intelligent humanoid he is the future of our society and it a technological master peace he will one day service people as he and all humanoids were designed to do.

[tony2255]

That is Garrison Keillor. He is very big on PBS radio. And the host of the last remaining radio variety show. "A Prairie Home Companion. They even release a movie with Lindsy Lohan last year.

Very funny skits have been done on that show, like. Us super models are so thin, that one really good fart could like blow us away.

If you have a great imagination, the show really comes alive in your mind.

[Masquatto]

Who's the voice?

[FelixFelisis]

That's so cute, he's like a curious little astronaut!

[NintendoTom]

For some reason i feel a sadness to this robot, it has human features and is recorgnised as one but yet it does not feel it, it feels nothing, it only thinks of what is commanded next, emotionless yet full of life.

[odbpowell]

Exactly. That's the point in the ad surely - to provoke an emotional response towards a piece of technology. I guess that's the idea behind the ad.

[uydurbisey]

honda will never collaborate

[nofuturo]

never say never! Check out the youtube video I posted above about Honda's "collabo" with Carnegie Mellon University.

[uydurbisey]

they just sell asimo

and fools in carnegie just try some walking trajectory

for example they cannot make asimo run, they dont even know the harmonic gear ratio (very simple example)

they are making asimo walk on a terrain where asimo avoids some obstacles etc.

americans are not clever enough to build annd run a humanoid.

by the way who the fuck is taiwan?? a 3rd world country! you see humanoids only on tv you chinese remedies!

[Sinuev1]

Sarcos's humanoid robots put Asimo to shame. Go watch the videos on their powered exoskeleton which they are working on making autonomous when not actively piloted. Not to mention the amazing work in keeping quadruped and triped robots balanced under extreme conditions (such as slipping on ice, being kicked over, jumping from moderate distances). Perfecting balance in multi-legged robots will go much further to creating reliably stable bipedial robots. Unlike Asimo who is rather easy to tip over

[olimar2001]

so far honda has plans to make asimo independant but so far he requires like 7 hours of programing just to do this vid, so untill he can program himself, no robo-butler

[HeatherC19]

I wish the guys at Honda would collaborate with the guys in Japan who've made intelligent robots who can't move for crap, but can actually hold a conversation. If it had the self-teaching and interaction software it might not be bad.

[guusebumps]

Honda is Japan,..... you fool

[olimar2001]

you guys know this is all pre programed in right? i mean, he is cool and all, but he is a long way from the robotic butler of isaac asimov's dreams

[FerrariModena]

Well a robot has to be programmed to work anyways. However is he programmed to program himself therefore being almost human-like? Hmm... It's cool nonetheless.

[skkyzelda]

even tho i dont like asimo ...i love this commerical ..especially at the end part when he is in the room full of airplanes and he stretches his arms out ...its so childlike

[JaZira5]

That was so awsome -- though creepy also, cos there wasn't any humans around, just technology that we man, from the past to the present. But yeh, that was just great to watch ^_^

[nicomacdonald]

The final line is "Onwards, upwards -- anyway but backwards. Tapping progress on the shoulder and saying 'More forwards please'." Now that is a sentiment you don't hear too often today.
