Honda's Asimo since 1986

Honda have been developing their humanoid robot technology for a long time, since 1986 when they first showed us their walking robot legs, the Experimental Model 0 (E0). Little did they know that their ideas would develop into Asimo as we know him/it today, the world's most advanced humanoid robot.

This video consists of lots of bits of Asimo footage from 1986 to 2006, pieced together to show how the robot has evolved from its humble beginnings. See Asimo walk, run at 3kph or 6kph in a straight line, exercise, dance, serve drinks, push a cart & more stunning achievements.

Asimo really does get better every year, have a look at the latest footage of the robot from the Consumer Electronics Show 2007 Las Vegas, where Asimo dances, walks up stairs and runs in a circle.
