ASIMO

It must be already in the know about the ASIMO robot whose name is a Honda, this time I'll tell you a little history of the founding of ASIMO.
Asimo stands for "Advanced Step in Innovative Mobility." Asimo regarded as the world's most advanced humanoid robot with 130 cm tall and weighs 54 kg. The robot developed by Honda Motor Co.., Ltd..,
Asimo was born on October 31, 2000 from the R & D program robotic Honda which was founded in 1986. Led by Mr. Masato Hirose, Senior Chief Engineer of the Wako Research Institute, Honda R & D Co.., Ltd.., Chestnut robot development team created a robot that can be a friend to man. This dream led to the concept of "uniting the various mechanical functions with advanced technologies to improve the quality of human life," the underlying road map for Honda in the development of robots. Fund created to make robots better than a wasteful luxury cars made fuel.

In the past 14 years, Honda has developed seven experimental robot and three robot prototypes. After many efforts, this project to fruition in 2000 with the official launch as a representative of ASIMO humanoid robot technology.
ASIMO is now the second generation which is a refinement of the first generation ASIMO robot that was introduced in 2000. Asimo mobility technologies are now experiencing rapid development than previous generations, with various capabilities such as moving in a circle pattern and ran up to the speed of 6 km / hour. Asimo the ability to interact with humans or other objects are also more perfect, as welcome guests, walking bergadengan by human hands, carrying a tray, and push the train.
Various technological developments are achieved through research and development of ASIMO, including posture control technology, image and voice recognition technology, as well as collision avoidance technologies are also the basis for Honda's development of technologies applied in other fields, including safety technology in cars.
Application of advanced technologies on the product close to the daily life of humans is in line with what the foundation in the creation of ASIMO, the dream that the technology and life to walk together in harmony.
