Recently, Honda has made public their newest creation, the Asimo Robot. This is a small robot that can do virtually anything. Compared to the prototypes, this latest version of the Asimo Robot has more intelligence, better coordination, and better physical capabilities. Developers have also made it so that Asimo's legs are stronger and better able to move in long strides.


Honda has also reconstructed the Asimo so that it is now better able to interact with its surroundings by equipping it with multiple sensors. These sensors allow the Asimo to sense another person's movements and anticipate the direction that he or she is going to. Sensors were also placed on the fingers of Asimo in order to make it capable of performing miniature tasks such as uncapping a bottle and pouring a cup of tea. If the Asimo can execute tasks such as lifting a pencil, then think of all the other things it could do!


You could have your very own personal helper, assisting you with your everyday chores or maybe even help you with your homework if improvements in technology allow it. The Asimo is so helpful apparently that Honda was thinking of releasing it in Japan in order to help in cleaning the power plants in Fukishima which were devastated by the tsunami.


With the help of the Asimo, we would be moving our generation into a new technological era in which technology would be a part of our everyday lives.
