ASIMO – The Humanoid Robot
A Presentation on Honda’s Advanced
Humanoid Robot
Purpose of ASIMO
• • ASIMO (Advanced Step in Innovative
Mobility) is designed as a humanoid robot to
assist people with limited mobility.
• • Developed for research in robotics, human
interaction, and mobility assistance.
• • Demonstrates Honda’s vision for robotics in
everyday life, including guidance and service
tasks.
Company Behind ASIMO
• • Developed by Honda Motor Co., Ltd.
• • Research and development started in 1986,
officially introduced in 2000.
• • Aimed to create a bipedal humanoid robot
capable of dynamic movement and human
interaction.
Features of ASIMO
• • Height & Weight: 130 cm (4 ft 3 in) tall,
weighs 48 kg (106 lbs).
• • Mobility: Walks, runs up to 9 km/h, climbs
stairs, and balances dynamically.
• • AI Capabilities: Recognizes faces, voices, and
gestures, enabling interaction.
• • Sensors & Vision: Equipped with cameras
and sensors to detect surroundings and avoid
obstacles.
• • Hands & Dexterity: Can grasp and carry
Conclusion & Legacy
• • ASIMO was a milestone in humanoid
robotics, paving the way for future AI-driven
robots.
• • Honda ended ASIMO’s development in 2018,
but its innovations continue to influence
modern robotics.
• • Demonstrated possibilities for assistive
robotics in homes, hospitals, and public
services.
