ASIMO Rocks UTM
ASIMO stands for Advanced Step in Inovative Mobility and this high tech humanoid robot actually pays UTM a visit exclusively. This baby is simply stylish, sleek and awesome. Why awesome? The key is the intelligent real time flexible walking or simply known as iWalk technology that enables ASIMO to actually predict its next move based on information recieved from sensors around its body.
It’s really hard to imagine this cute, shiny and agile technology masterpeice is merely 130cm and 54kg. I like the ASIMO tag from Honda:
“He walks. He runs. And perhaps most importantly he inspires us all to dream.”
Now that real time movement has reached perfection, it’s time to proceeed with ASIMO’s other AI system. It’s so so cool. ASIMO road tours will cover 3 locations in Malaysia:
- 14 - 16 Nov 2008 @ New Wing, 1 Utama Shopping Centre, Selangor. (expired)
- 20 - 23 Nov 2008 @ City Square Shopping Centre, Johor Bahru. (coming soon)
- 27 - 30 Nov 2007 @ Queensbay Mall, Penang. (coming soon)
ASIMO’s visit to UTM is to show recognition to UTM’s robotics development and contribution in Malaysia. If you happen to miss out the life action, I have photos and videos for you! =)
