Honda ASIMO rocks with Gizmodo AU, part 2.1

Here’s my first mano et mano encounter with ASIMO. Naturally, he has to make a grand entrance. This was also a lesson in just how far things still have to go. There is a very specific procedure one must follow to shake hands, and as you’ll see I was off sequence for a moment and an ASIMO handler was quick to put me right.

This is the simpler, less exciting part of the encounter. The dance routine is still to come…
