  • Not all growed up, but more growed up

    Awww... Little Asimo is learning new tricks. He's working in an office now, showing visitors to conference rooms, pushing the mail cart, and delivering trays of drinks. Man, now I could definitely see getting one of these for home. Imagine yelling "Asimo! Cocktails!" from the luxury of the couch and having a little android come running at top speed (now 3.7 mph) with a tray of rum and cokes. Here's the Reuter's article and the Honda site about him. Let me tell ya, this is all way cuter if you think of him as a kid who's growing up a little bit; rather than a new model that banishes the old ones to a closet somewhere never to be used again. I also keep wondering when they're going to make him a bit bigger and what kinda trouble that'll lead to. (insert joke about robot overlords here) Is he three laws compliant? hmmm... Note to self: watch iRobot when you get home today.

    digg it
