Honda amps up the Asimo

Asimo

We're still dying to know whether the Asimo would best Sony's Qrio in a little wrasslin' contest or not, but apparently Honda doesn't want to take any chances and has busted out a new generation of their humanoid robot that comes with a bunch of new features like "posture control" technology that is supposed to make it run more naturally, "autonomous continuous movement" technology that helps it get around obstacles more easily, and better visual sensors so it can move in sync with a person and do stuff like move forward or backwards when its hand is pushed or pulled.
