Artificial Intelligence is a topic that has interested me for some time now. I stumbled across a project recently that is being worked on by Honda called Asimo.Props to Honda for researching this the field of robotics and artificial intelligence. I hope that Honda as a company has lots of success and market share in this rising market.

Asimo  is a humanoid robot created by Honda. Standing at 130 centimeters (4 feet 3 inches) and weighing 54 kilograms (114 pounds), the robot resembles a small astronaut wearing a backpack and can walk or run on two feet at speeds up to 6 km/h (4.3 mph), matching EMIEW. ASIMO was created at Honda’s Research & Development Wako Fundamental Technical Research Center in Japan. It is the current model in a line of eleven that began in 1986 with E0.

Many decades ago the human race wondered and created Science fiction that seemed impossible to achieve at the time. Now as 2009 comes to a close science fiction is no more considered fiction but rather science fact. If you remember that back in the 40s or even 50s flat screen televisions and the internet where still non existent. Alon with thousands of other things that we have available to our use today. Most of us cant comprehend how much the world will change in the next 25 years and even the 25 years after that. As we become more and more advanced will science fiction eventually be something that is real and readily available ? Only time will tell. I look forward to seing what the brilliant scientists and inventors come up with in the years to come. Check out the video below and notice how freakishly human that robot is already starting to act.
