Honda Unveils All-new ASIMO Humanoid Robot with Significant Advancements

Honda Motor Co., Ltd. today unveiled an all-new ASIMO humanoid robot newly equipped with the world's first* autonomous behavior control technology. With a further advance in autonomy, the all-new ASIMO can now continue moving without being controlled by an operator. The all-new ASIMO is now advanced from an "automatic machine" to an "autonomous machine" with the decision-making capability to determine its behavior in concert with its surroundings such as movements of people. With significantly improved intelligence and the physical ability to adapt to situations, ASIMO took another step closer to practical use in an office or a public space where many people come and go. Since the establishment of the company, Honda has continued to take on new challenges in the effort to create new products and advance technologies with the spirit of utilizing technology to help people. In the area of humanoid robot research, Honda has been developing and advancing the ASIMO humanoid robot to realize a dream to be useful for people and to help enrich people's daily lives.

one should come with every honda vehicle we buy

This is absolutely amazing - I'm mildly afraid of the possibilities of robotics combined with artificial intelligence, but this really does make it seem so plausible and ... innocent?

Early days still, I guess, but still bloody incredible!

@SalientK oh sorry lol

[KeepingModern]

If Honda starts letting us finance these robots, that would be worth a second mortgage!

[SalientK]

@icpcool1 I know that. I was responding to Amongoeth, who said "Why not make an ugly looking robot that can actually sweep the floor?" I'm saying that ASIMO is better than that.

@SalientK asimo has many other uses to do some research

The two people who disliked this video must be Toyota executives who are jealous that their robots are lagging far behind :P

[andrepatacchini]

he needs some oil on the joints hahahahaha

[SalientK]

@Amongoeth Why do we need a humanoid robot to sweep the floor? Simple problems deserve simple solutions.

[Amongoeth]

@SalientK That's a vacuum cleaner mate, not a humanoid robot

[SalientK]

@Amongoeth We already have that. It's called Roomba.
