Honda's All-new ASIMO Prepares and Serves Refreshments

Honda has developed a highly functional compact multi-fingered hand, which has a tactile sensor and a force sensor imbedded on the palm and in each finger, respectively, and which acts to control each finger independently. Combined with the object recognition technology based on visual and tactile senses, this multi-fingered hand enables the all-new ASIMO to perform tasks with dexterity, such as picking up a glass bottle and twisting off the cap, or holding a soft paper cup to pour a liquid without squishing it.

I have mutiple ideas for ASIMO. 1. He should be water proof and swim... Play instruments, be able to play basic games like rock paper scissor and tag, do simple math equations like a calculator, be able to laugh along ( when it hears a laughing sound it will laugh along) when u say Good night, ASIMO! It wiill shut off, same with good morning he will wake up. Should also v be able to drive and crawl, lay down, climb. I know this sounds hard, but it wiill take like 40 years... :(
