ROBO JAPAN 2008 ASIMO : Diginfo

At ROBO JAPAN 2008 in Yokohama, Honda demonstrated ASIMO.

ASIMO is being developed with the expectation of actually using it in daily life in the near future.

ASIMO is 130 cm tall and weighs 54 kg. It uses advanced walking technology to walk upright at 6 km/h. Even when both of ASIMOs feet are off the ground, it can actively control its posture, so that it walks in a straight line.

ASIMO uses eye cameras on its head and force sensors on its wrists to detect the motion of people. It can reliably hand objects to people, and receive them as well.

ASIMO can also combine walking with arm movements to give a dance performance. A technology improvement announced at the end of 2005 enables better overall body coordination, so ASIMO can move more flexibly and faster while keeping its balance.
