Script:
From Honda Motor Company comes a new small, lightweight humanoid robot named ASIMO that is able to walk in a similar manner to a human being's. ASIMO is an abbreviation for "Advanced Step in Innovative Mobility". It is an amazing product that can be helpful to people as well as of practical use in society.
Compared to Honda's previous walking robot P3, made in 1997, ASIMO is smaller, lighter and its design is more people-friendly. P3 is 160cm tall and weighs 130kg, while ASIMO's height is only 120cm and its weight has been reduced to a mere 43kg. Other special features include more advanced walking technology, simplicity of operation and an increased range of arm movements.
In December 2005, Honda debuted the new ASIMO model. This model is 10cm taller and 11kg heavier than the first ASIMO. It can walk alongside its controller, and is able to move carts and other objects around at will. And, with a newly developed total control system, it can act as a receptionist, or even deliver drinks on a tray. The new ASIMO is also more agile than its predecessor, as it is able to run at 6km / h, and even to turn while running.
