ASIMO - The Honda Humanoid Robot

ASIMO is Honda Motor Company's renowned humanoid robot, created at Honda's Wako Fundamental Technical Research Center in Japan. This version is the current model in a line of eleven that began in 1986 with E0. Officially, the name is an acronym for "Advanced Step in Innovative MObility". Honda's official statements claim that the robot's name is not a reference to science fiction writer and inventor of the Three Laws of Robotics, Isaac Asimov. As of February 2009, there are over 100 ASIMO units in existence. Each one costs just under $1 million to manufacture. [Adapted from Wikipedia]

This fine video is the work of Jeffery Patch, who filmed it at the Honda ASIMO Theater in Disneyland (Anaheim, California) two years ago. The original is posted at Mimeo. Thx Jeff.
