Domo arigato, Mr. Roboto! Honda’s latest incarnation of Asimo was literally running circles around any competition at is US trade show debut. This little guy just scampered around the stage with scary fluid like motion proving how far robotics have come in the last few years. Video of Asimo operating after the jump.


Just kidding the real video is below:

    It seems that he’s speed walking more than actually running.

    I wish they had one of those at Macworld

    And we all see what Dan does on his lunch breaks…. J/k.

    @James: He is speed walking the definition of run includes a stipulation that both feet leave the ground at once. That would DEFINATELY be interesting to see a robot with that kind of balance would be amazing

    Shouldn’t you be comparing it to Qrio? – AIBO has been discontinued

    Show’s Qrio throwing a ball, roller skating, running and hopping.. Asimo, try and keep up Qrio was doing this last year!

    Its a shame that Sony “close” the development of Qrio & Aibo but I’ve been assured that all the AI developed will be added to other Sony products (whatever that means!)

    @Mike

    Asimo does ‘run’ in that both feet leave the ground for .08 of a second.
