ASIMO

ASIMO


1. Height: 130 cm
2. Weight: 48 kg
3. Running speed: 9km/hr





ASIMO can recognise moving objects, postures, gestures, its surrounding environment, sounds and faces, which enable it to interact with humans. ASIMO has 2 camera 'eyes' in its head and can also determone distance and direction. ASIMO can follow people and face them when they approach.
They can shake hands, wave, point and do sign language



ASIMO can recognize about 10 different faces and address them by name.



ASIMO can pick up a glass bottle and twist off the cap, or hold a soft paper cup to pour a liquid without squishing it.




Wouldn't this be great to have an ASIMO at home!!!
