Seriously cool robots
Asimo
In brief: The world's most advanced robot
Running, walking, dancing, playing football, conducting an orchestra - you name it this little guy can do it. Honda's humanoid robot is an advanced step in innovative mobility, and they have big plans for it. It is hoped that within the next 10 to 15 years Asimo will be able to assist elderly people and disabled people, with lifting, getting up and alerting emergency services.
