For the development of movements of ASIMO, Honda has studied
and used as a model coordinated movements
and complex human body. The proportions and position of the joints of ASIMO resemble those of a human being and, in many respects, the robot has a range of movement comparable to ours.
Using a new advanced mobility system developed
Honda, ASIMO can not only move forward, backward,
but also to move sideways, up or down stairs and turn in walking.
In this regard, ASIMO is the robot that imitates the movements better
Walking natural human beings. Continue reading

The robots exhibition
In 2000, based on experience with P3, Honda presented Asimo (Advanced Step in Innovative Mobility), a robot exhibition represents the culmination of 14 years of research. It was designed under the direction of the engineer Masato Hirose. This small autonomous android measure 1.20 meters and weighs 53 kg. It moves at 1.6 km / h but it is capable of running a moderate pace (12 kph), skipping, dancer and ascend or descend stairs. Admittedly, sometimes it even rate a march through the public representation, but we do so, the difference qu’Asimo can not even stand up alone.
But although it is a robot, and see the warning, showing signs of intelligence and then dropped onto a trap and be unable to recover any revealed the impotence of men to inject life and reflexes fundamentals. At the same time fascinating and pathetic, he fell on the stairs revealed how much was still a long way towards creating a completely autonomous android. Continue reading
