ASIMO - the great Honda’s R&D robot that evolved progressively since 1986 is here in Selangor, Malaysia. The road tour in Malaysia started with Selangor today until 16th Nov at New Wing, 1 Utama Shopping Center. Next stop will be Johor Bahru (20 - 23 Nov), and followed by Penang (27 - 30 Nov).
He is (yes, he’s a man) now 22 years old and is able to walk and run very smoothly. He can kick a ball and even do a waiter’s job - walking steadily while holding a tray of glasses to serve a waiting customer. This is another result of a no-nonsense job done by the Japanese giant and it took 22 hard years of research and development to reach the milestone.
I took a chance of long lunch hour after Friday prayer to catch his performance at the shopping complex and I must say that this machine is really extraordinary and wonderful…something that you love to keep at your home.
