ASIMO is the culmination of more than two decades of humanoid robotics research and development by Honda engineers which aimed to successfully replicate human movement, such as walking and climbing stairs. This was achieved in the 1990s; the latest generation of ASIMO goes even further with advanced mobility. Honda’s ultimate ambition however, remains to develop a robot so advanced that it can genuinely help people, such as those who lack full mobility, or by working in environments too dangerous for humans.
Recognition technology
With 2000's ASIMO model Honda added many features that enable ASIMO to interact better with humans. These features fall under 5 categories:
1. Recognition of moving objects
2. Recognition of postures and gestures
3. Environment recognition
4. Distinguishing sounds
5. Facial recognition
