ASIMO





Returning home on Friday, i saw a large crowd. Apparently there is a Honda showcase on ASIMO at here.

ASIMO (アシモ) is a humanoid robot created by Honda Motor Company. Thus small robot look like an astronaut wearing a backpack and can walk or run on two feet.

ASIMO was created at Honda's Research & Development Wako Fundamental Technical Research Center in Japan.

Officially, the name is acronym for "Advanced Step in Innovative MObility" butsome how it sound like Isaac Asimov
