Sure, we all laugh when Honda’s ASIMO robot trips and falls, but walking around in plasic armour can’t be that easy. Don’t believe me? This ridiculous ASIMO costume will let you experience it for yourself.
Honda Asimo, the frighteningly realistic yet increasingly useless humanoid robot, has learned another new trick! It can pour drinks. Watch Asimo roll out a cart, open up a thermos, grab the cup, tilt the cup, pour, finish the pour and hand it off to a pretty lady.
Asimo, the Honda humanoid, one of the world’s most loved robots, was showing off its dance moves this week at the 2011 IEEE International Conference on Intelligent Robots and Systems in San Francisco.
According to Honda, the world’s cutest and most advanced robo-boy turned 10 today. Happy birthday, ASIMO. Next year Honda will turn you into a real boy!
Asimo, still licking its wounds after being outrun by Toyota, fired back earlier this month at Carnegie Mellon, where it learned how to navigate complex, moving obstacle courses. Seriously impressive stuff in this video—just wait until things start spinning!
Don’t you dare finger count the months until October. This Asimo suit is a necessity in life’s constant social challenges.
