Then you see 2-3 people in blue Honday jumpsuits run in front of him with a screen on wheels to cover him up like they do/did at Disneyland and other places when he falls!

@Scott K.: It really doesn't matter that much any longer. I think the blue collar workers around here would jump at the chance to work for any auto manufacturer, domestic or not, so even a little interest from Honda (or any automaker) might make them very happy.]]>Apr 23rd 2008 12:59PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/23/hondas-asimo-robot-to-conduct-yo-yo-ma-and-the-detroit-symphony/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/23/hondas-asimo-robot-to-conduct-yo-yo-ma-and-the-detroit-symphony/
That is, until, the repairbots replace your job.

Which can only be succeeded by self-repairable robots, rendering the repairbots obsolete.]]>Apr 23rd 2008 1:26PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/23/hondas-asimo-robot-to-conduct-yo-yo-ma-and-the-detroit-symphony/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/23/hondas-asimo-robot-to-conduct-yo-yo-ma-and-the-detroit-symphony/

Of all the work that's constantly being done on him.. There hasn't really been much damn improvement over the years.


Sony's "QRIO" was a HELL OF A LOT better then Asimo.

It's sad that Sony discontinued Qrio. Insane almost.

QRIO had so much better balance capabilities, running capabilities. (In the Guinness world book for running.)

Advanced face recognition and learning capabilities. You could talk to it and it would learn from you. And be able to have conversations with people.

It was.. dare I say.. "FUCKING AMAZING" lol.

Hopefully Sony has something secret planned for the future tho.(Hopefully.......)]]>Apr 23rd 2008 9:41PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/23/hondas-asimo-robot-to-conduct-yo-yo-ma-and-the-detroit-symphony/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/23/hondas-asimo-robot-to-conduct-yo-yo-ma-and-the-detroit-symphony/
