See New Honda ASIMO Robot Run

Topic:

Honda introduced an updated ASIMO humanoid robot. The new ASIMO can run 6km/h fast.

Honda published several videos online to watch ASIMO run, turn on the spot, pushing a cart or carrying a tray. The videos are fun to watch. A running ASIMO is actually even more fun as seeing ASIMO doing the Hula.

Besides running the new Honda ASIMO can act in sync with people, carry objects, automatically perform the tasks of a receptionist or information guide, carry out delivery services. Read more

Nextfest 2004 Report - Asimo doing the Hula and more fun Future Technology

Topic:

I just came back from Wired Nextfest 2004 in San Francisco. I have to congratulate Wired to this very interesting and entertaining event show-casing the Future of Technology.

The Honda Asimo show on the main stage is very cute and definitely worth seeing the little 4 foot robot showing off his walk and his dance moves. Watch Asimo doing the Hawaiian Hula Dance in this - Have a look, or better if you are in San Francisco this weekend go and visit the Nextfest in the Fort Mason Center.
