When we received a press release covering the new ASIMO robot from Honda, we though ‘what the heck, they’ll probably feature it in commercials’, so here we are. The all-new generation is supposedly so advanced it can move without being controlled by an operator.
It’s supposedly much smarter now, and can adapt to the environment and different situations, as Honda tried to bring it as close as possible to being used in public spaces.
The manufacturer has also revealed a new task-performing robot arm. “This experimental model was developed while applying multi-joint and posture control technologies to ASIMO. This robot arm can be controlled remotely to perform tasks in places which are difficult for people to access,” Honda says.
Here are the main focuses the manufacturer had when creating a more autonomous machine:
1) High level balancing ability - maintaining its posture by putting out its leg in an instant.
2) External recognition capability - takes in information, such as the movements of people, from multiple sensors and predicts the changes that may take place.
3) The ability to generate autonomous behaviour - making predictions from gathered information and determine the next movement without being controlled by an operator.
From tactile hands with fingers to stronger legs, you can find out more about the new ASIMO in the official press release.
