ASIMO in a town near you
Humanoid robot tours OzThe latest incarnation of Honda's ASIMO robot project is about to tour Australia.
Honda says ASIMO is the result of nearly 21 years of research and development by the company which, although better known for cars and motorcycles, currently has engineering teams in Japan, Thailand, Europe and the US dedicated to this robot's ongoing development as he continues to become more humanlike with each new technological advancement.
The premiere of ASIMO's Alive & Unplugged Australian Tour will take place in a special marquee at Chadstone Shopping Centre, Melbourne, on Wednesday 17 October 2007, followed by five days of shows with free admission.
ASIMO and his entourage of Honda technicians and robotic experts will then hit the road in their spectacular tour bus to perform at central locations in Bendigo, Adelaide, Newcastle, Sydney and Brisbane. The 130 cm robot will also visit hospitals and schools to thrill the kids with his advanced mobility and intelligence capabilities.?
