Interview: Honda on the future for its Asimo robot
At the CES show this year, Honda's humanoid Asimo robot was one of the big hits. He didn't just walk and trot up and down stairs. He ran. He played football. He danced. And through it all, he cracked jokes like a Vegas pro. You can watch our videos of it here. Naturally, Honda isn't pumping millions of dollars into Asimo's R&D to get a few cheap laughs. The company uses the bot in its TV ads for starters. But in the long-term, Honda wants Asimo to become a genuinely helpful companion for us humans. I talked to Stephen Keeney, North American Asimo project leader at Honda, to find out more. CES seemed to go well. Was it a big deal for Honda? Yes, it was a huge event for Asimo, as it was the first time we'd demonstrated it running outside of Japan.
