Seminar on Honda ASIMO

Brief History of the Robot


 Created by Honda Motor Company in 1986
 ASIMO (Advanced Step in Innovative Mobility)
 Started off at over six feet tall and often feel down
 The company was getting frustrated with the
project and almost gave up hope
History continued
 1991 the ASIMO robot was now able to steadily walk
 It also developed the ability to walk on an incline
 By 1997 the robot was reduced in size to 4 feet
 This feature enabled the robot to do activities that
humans could do such as sit at a computer, turn on a
light switch, and turn doorknobs
ASIMO today
 In 2000 the robot was
introduced to the world

 2005 Honda embedded a


IC communication card
that enabled the robot to
communicate with people
ASIMO capabilities
 Recognition of moving
objects
 Recognition of posture
and gesture
 Environmental recognition
 Distinguishing sounds
 Facial Recognition
ASIMO’s motion-walk like human
 Robots have joints that
researchers refer to as
"degrees of freedom."
 There are three degrees of
freedom in ASIMO's neck,
seven on each arm and six on
each leg.
ASIMO capabilities in detail
 The robot can follow and greet a person
 Can recognize when a handshake is offered and wave in
back to someone
 Can distinguish objects and terrain in its environment
 Distinguish between voices and other sounds
 Identify 10 different faces and once they are registered they
can respond to them by name
Humanoid features
 Self maintenance (self recharging)
 Autonomous learning
 Avoiding harmful situations to society and
people.
 Safe interactions with the environment and
human beings.

Pros Cons
 It can do tedious chores that  People fear that robot will
take up a lot of time
take over their job
 Help the elderly and disabled
 Less personal
communication
 Can perform certain tasks
that are dangerous to
humans  Fear that robots will take
over human activity
 Productivity can increase
Future
 Inspiring young scientist

 Education

 Complete the ASIMO so it can


be an extra set of hands, ears,
eyes for humans

 Make it more affordable than


its one million price currently
Conclusion
 In my opinion the ASIMO robot is an
amazing technological advancement
 This will allow people allocate their time in a
more productive manner
 The ASIMO robot will provide a number of
positive contributions to human beings
