Evolution of ASIMO
A new ASIMO featured the ability to pursue tasks in a real-life environment such as an office and an advanced level of physical capabilities.
ASIMO achieved an enhanced ability to act in tune with people, such as shaking hands in sync with the person’s motion and walking with a person while holding hands. A new function to carry objects using a tray or cart was also added.
Furthermore, the development of a new posture control system dramatically improved the running capability of ASIMO, which was capable of running at a speed of 6 km/h and in a circular pattern.
