It ’s been almost 15 age since Honda first introduced Asimo , the caller ’s attempt to produce a humanoid golem that can walk and performother human - comparable undertaking . But Asimo ’s most late acclivity introduces something unsettling : apair of dead grim eyes and a permanent smirkthat leaves the bot looking more like an unsettling china doll with a secret urge to overthrow its Maker .
gratefully , Asimo ’s capabilities have n’t quite catch up to its ostensible oblique intention . The robot ’s got a new set of legs that ameliorate its power to undertake spotty terrain and even walk backwards , but it still tops out at a running velocity of just 5.6 miles per hour which is fairly easy for most humans to outpace . And Asimo ’s hands have also been upgrade with thirteen degrees of exemption so it ’s well equipped to open bottleful and pour beverages , but we all know better than to accept drinks from purportedly friendly golem .

More concern , though , are the upgrades Honda has given Asimo in terms of hokey intelligence . The golem ’s now able to recognise multiple faces and spokesperson in a crowd , even if they ’re all talk to it at the same clock time . And it can prognosticate and react to what ’s going on around it , like deepen counseling to nullify colliding with someone walk towards it , or , more probable , attempt to foil our plots to exclude it down once it becomes sentient . THANKS , HONDA . [ HondaviaPocket - lint ]
