Honda Rolls Out Robot
from the your-asimo-can-walk-your-aibo dept
Honda today introduced a new robot called the Asimo. I saw it on TV earlier and it basically looks like a really simplified version of Robin Williams in that cheesy robot movie. It walks around and can be controlled by a remote control. I think that Honda should team with Sony so that the Asimo can take the Aibo robot dog for a walk. Update: Well, that didn't take long. Only a few hours after the Honda announcement, Sony has announced a human-like robot of their own.
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
