ASIMO the robot

Everyone might have seen this robot before he is very famous. It is known as "The most advanced humanoid robot" 

Let's look at his history

ASIMO, stand for Advanced Step in Innovative MObility. Asimo is a humanoid robot designed and developed by Honda. Introduced on 21 October 2000. 


ASIMO was designed to operate in real-world environments, with the ability to walk or run on two feet at speeds of up to 6 kilometres per hour. In the USA, ASIMO is part of the Innoventions attraction at Disneyland and has been featured in a 15-minute show called "Say 'Hello' to Honda's ASIMO" since June 2005. The robot has made public appearances around the world.

Honda began developing humanoid robots in the 1980s, including several prototypes that preceded ASIMO. It was the company's goal to create a walking robot which could not only adapt and interact in human situations, but also improve the quality of life.

Abilities

ASIMO has the ability to recognize moving objects, postures, gestures, its surrounding environment, sounds and faces, which enables it to interact with humans. The robot can detect the movements of multiple objects by using visual information captured by two camera "eyes" in its head and also determine distance and direction. This feature allows ASIMO to follow or face a person when approached.  And a lot more.

Public appearances

Since ASIMO was introduced in 2000, the robot has traveled around the world and performed in front of international audiences.The robot first visited the United Kingdom in January 2004 for public demonstrations at the Science Museum in London. ASIMO continued on a world tour, making stops in countries such as Spain, the United Arab Emirates, Russia, South Africa and Australia. In October 2008, ASIMO greeted Prince Charles during a visit to the Miraikan Museum in Tokyo, where it performed a seven-minute step and dance routine.

Conclusion

In my opinion i think ASIMO is the future of human. Imagine that we don't need to use real human when there is a fire accident. Imagine we don't need real human for any risk work. This is the revelution that we need in the future. Robot for human.
