ASIMO (アシモ Ashimo) is a humanoid robot created by Honda. Introduced in 2000, ASIMO, which is an acronym for Advanced Step in Innovative Mobility,[1] was created to be a helper to people.[2]
Apparently the resemblance to the name of Isaac Asimov is merely a coincidence.[3]
With aspirations of helping people who lack full mobility, ASIMO is
used to encourage young people to study science and mathematics.[4]
At 130 cm (4 feet, 3 inches) tall and 54 kg (119 lbs), ASIMO was
designed to operate in real-world environments, with the ability to walk
or run on two feet at speeds up to 3.7 mph (6 km/h).[2]
In the USA, ASIMO is part of the Innoventions attraction at Disneyland and has been featured in a 15-minute show called "Say 'Hello' to Honda's ASIMO" since June 2005.[5]
Honda began developing humanoid robots in the 1980s, including several prototypes that preceded ASIMO.
ASIMO has a walking speed of 1.7 mph (2.7 km/hour) and a running speed of 3.7 mph (6km/hour).[18]
