ASIMO - All New Features 2011

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. At the beginning of the development process, the following three factors were identified as necessary for a robot to perform as an autonomous machine, and the technologies required to realize these capabilities were developed; 1) high-level postural balancing capability which enables the robot to maintain its posture by putting out its leg in an instant, 2) external recognition capability which enables the robot to integrate information, such as movements of people around it, from multiple sensors and estimate the changes that are taking place, and 3) the capability to generate autonomous behavior which enables the robot to make predictions from gathered information and autonomously determine the next behavior without being controlled by an operator. With these capabilities, the all-new ASIMO takes another step closer to practical use in an environment where it coexists with people.

Japanese is way smarter than america because in USA people keep getting facebook fight and drug war but in asia its peaceful they love video games and robots and street race in tokyo or hong kong so yeah asia is the highest population like billions of people

@DiepSpartan119 I am not American but this type of comment though is the kind of nonsense anti-americanism that I have began to hate due to its unspecific nature, general pointlessness and completely nonconstructive nature. This is a video about a Japanese robot. There is no need to even mention America! Drug wars, whats that mean specifically and how can it be characterised as American!? Nine likes for an uneducated comment that says "booo America" and has nothing to do with this cool robot!

I have seen the future and it is terrifying.

@DiepSpartan119 I thought, if americans move to japan, they'll become less lazy because japanese is complicated.

Awesome-o is showing excellent signs of progress

@DiepSpartan119 Japan improves technology, but in most cases america invented the basics. Like, the microchip, cars,

Think about using the KML Wire here for insanely fast response times.
