Honda's Famous 'Asimo' Robot Has Learned A Bunch Of New Tricks
Fourteen years ago, Honda introduced the first generation of Asimo, a humanoid robot designed to be an assistant to people with limited mobility. It was also something of a public relations push to get people interested in studying science and mathematics. You've likely seen it before - it looks like a short, all-white astronaut.
A lot has changed since its first unveiling. Honda just showed off its latest Asimo build on "Live with Kelly and Michael," and we're impressed by what we saw:
