Honda's All-new ASIMO Runs at 9 khm

On November 8, 2011, Honda unveiled an all-new ASIMO. With a further advance in autonomy, the all-new ASIMO can now continue moving without being controlled by an operator and can run as fast as 9 kmh. Moreover, 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.

@00cm True but I never seen a factory robot put a bartender out of a job lol...and I bet you want love seeing "Asimo" run if it was running after you with a knife in the dark in the middle of streets :p

20 years ago it could barely walk across the room in a minute, now it runs across in seconds.. in the next 10-20 years I could see it running 20km/h.. if they wanted it to.

@MrHaha200 But factory robots are already putting millions out of a job. They just don't look this adorable! Ideally, robots will do all the tasks deemed too dangerous, unpleasant or repetitive. What this will do to non-qualified migrants, I cannot say. Anyway, I love watching Asimo run. :) Squea-squea-squea-squea-squea.
