ASIMO – Honda latest generation of humanoid robot


ASIMO

The latest generation of Honda’s robot ASIMO humanoid gave Barcelona its European debut. Honda hopes that he could one day be so advanced that it is a real human assistance. The new ASIMO embodies several significant technological improvements over its predecessors, including a new, schnittigeres design, yet more fluid and quick movements and the ability of almost 6 km / h to run. The agile ASIMO has many other new capabilities in terms of its mobility and intelligence. Continue reading

Honda connects the brain to robot

The Japanese Honda, in particular specialized in industrial robots, has demonstrated the use of a scanner for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI or magnetic resonance imaging) that detects brain signals and transmit them to a robot in order to drive Hand artificially. Lorsque the person in the MRI has waved his hand and made the sign ‘V’, the robot’s hand movements has reproduced! The system is still limited to the detection of a few simple gestures, and it will take time before being decoded complex movements. Similarly, we have to evolve singularly PMI technologies to reduce the size and weight. However, the “brain machine interface ‘, the interface between the human brain and machine, developed by Honda Research Institute Japan, opens up new perspectives. Continue reading

ASIMO is a humanoid robot developed by Honda

ASIMO is a humanoid robot developed by Honda. Asimo is an acronym for “Advanced Step in Innovative Mobility” pronounced “ashimo” (legs too “) in Japanese. His name accidentally recalls that of writer Isaac Asimov, author of numerous books on science-fiction on the theme of robotics and creator of the three laws of robotics. The design of the robot is facing a utilitarian purpose, unlike Sony robots whose goal is to create robots company (Aibo, Qrio). Asimo is a robot research, it is not marketed. Nevertheless, it has already been paid for some public events. It was also praised by large companies like IBM, in order to complete the task of hosting home. Continue reading

Advanced Robotics Research

Scientists at the Honda Research Institute have recently released a demo video of their latest state of the art humanoid robot: MiniAsimo. The culmination of years of research in robotics, nano-technology and chemoastrophysrobology, MiniAsimo contains the same functionality as the original Asimo model, while standing a mere 1.5 inches tall.

The new Honda robot recognizes humans

Also moving on two legs, the robot Asimo from Honda is now able to take into account the people who surround it. It recognizes their faces and signs that it font.Honda Motor Co., a division of automobile giant Nippon, unveiled Wednesday, December 11 in Tokyo, a new version of Asimo, the humanoid robot the size of a child ( 1 m 20 to 43 kg).
As the first model launched in November 2000, this robot is able to move on a flat terrain, up and down stairs, while avoiding obstacles stationary or moving. The great novelty is qu’Asimo interacts now, not only with its physical environment, but also with people moving around him. Continue reading
