ASIMO
ASIMO is 4 feet 3 inches tall, weights 119 lbs and can walk or run on two feet at the speed of 3.7 miles per hour. He is a multi-functional mobile assistant, a humanoid robot designed, developed and first introduced in 2000 by Honda (but since then, some updated models have also been produced).
ASIMO is an acronym for Advanced Step in Innovative Mobility. The walking robot was designed to operate in real-world environments and the constructors’ main goal was to create bipedal (two-legged) robot able to both interact in human situations and to improve the quality of life by assisting different people in real-world situations and help the disabled.
