When I first saw an ASIMO, I thought, "It looks like a small astronaut".

Growing up in the 90s, I was a huge fan of Honda's robots, and I remember their robots looking more and more different and more advanced with each new incarnation over the span of half a decade, then came Asimo in 2000. I was psyched. I wondered where it'd go next. Then came Gen 2 Asimo in 2005, but since then, besides tweaks, adjustments and very subtle upgrades, you have to admit that there doesn't seem to have been any major groundbreaking developments since then. It's like Honda's reached the end of the road with Asimo. *EDIT* I also just learned at the last minute that Honda retired Asimo just a few months after this demonstration, and may be focusing on a whole new model. I really wonder where they'll go with it next.

Asimo looks like it accidentally crapped its pants and is running with a full load in its trousers lol

A mile in 11 minutes? Hell, he's better than half the kids at a high school level.

As someone who did a bit of robotics in his youth, this is incredibly impressive. My team made it so that a humanoid robot can climb a rope, but even that was ridiculously challenging.

asimo looks like an astronaut

Just looking at him makes my knees ache. I want to shout “STRAIGHTEN YOUR LEGS!” At him

The "New" Asimo can now dab! Everybody claps in cringe.

Amazing progress during the 7 years since I last saw Asimo's prior incarnation. Good work!!

I met Asimo many years ago when I was a kid at one of these events. At the time, he was considered one of the most advanced robots. During the demonstration, he had a conversation and (amongst other things) managed to serve drinks. It was very impressive. I thought he was the most lovely little robot and wanted to be his friend. Asimo is so cute and endearing, i’m so happy they’ve still kept him going and are continually making improvements. We love you Asimo ❤️🤖

One of my favourite robot Asimo. You are great Asimo. Your functions is fantastic.

I was told to take notes on this video here is what I have •runs like me •walks like an old person •is not really like a human •sounds like an anime boy in English dub Hope that’ll do the job

ASIMO is a made in Japan robot, which I'm proud of it as a Japanese!

An absolutely astounding piece of machinery. Just the computational advances alone required to allow it to operate so quickly and precisely are amazing. One has to wonder how many ergometers this thing uses to determine its' orientation. Visual analysis, hearing, interpretation of language.... etc.. I wonder as to its' battery life between charges.Can it plug itself into a power source when in need of recharge? One thing I don't find really impressive is the over expression with the arms as this takes up tremendous amounts of computational power and further shortens battery life. Sign language is fine and dandy but I'd prefer to see that processing be put to better use in the way of task performance. All in all, excellent engineering.

I love Asimo program. It's one of a kind. I believe it will come back sometimes in the future to contribute for its good use.

Meanwhile Boston Dynamics Atlas is doing parkour.

I used to be amazed by this robot when it was the very first of its kind. I’m sad to see that it hasn’t progressed significantly over the years. Take a look at Boston Dynamics’ Atlas humanoid. This thing does back flips and can run circles around Asimo.

I think the Asimo project established a humaniod robot legend of Japanese robots since 1986. The 2018 asimo looks very mature since robot P1, P2 and P3, even the 2000 Asimo. It shows the optimized movment and respond time. I think it is very impressive. Boston dynamics robots are foundamentally a set of different robots, which shows a lot of break through. However they are newer generation, Boston Dynamics robots should not be mixed up with Honda Asimo. Asimo already reach its goal. We should appriciate the hard work of pioneers put in to this project which ends up with such a friendly human like robot.

Imagine Asimo fusing with Boston Dynamica Atlas. Asimatlas! the most advanced bipedal robot that combines their best features, and sounds like a cool gods name too

10 years after, asimo still kicks a ball, and walks the stairs...

Asimo is so adorable! :D

Can he backflip tho?

Wow the Japanese are so smart, what amazing robot they created, it feels so real

Can it stand up straight?

at first i was like "this is the same exact garbge can i saw 10 years ago", but then i noticed it isn't as loud as an apache helicopter anymore and doesnt stand and thing for a minute before doing any action, nice progress

If I owned Asimo. I would immediately put it to work cleaning the house from top to bottom! Get my drinks!

That's one hell of a robotic dance...😂😂😂😂😂

Asimo needs a jetpack.

I feel like Boston and Honda's going different ways here - yeah ASIMO hasn't changed much in years, but it's not a fair comparison. Just like how Apple produces phone-like tablets and Microsoft with computer-like tablets, Boston is going for industrial, adjusting to harsh environmental situations robots while Honda is going for humanoids that interact with people and mimic how we look.

Although ASIMO cannot stand straight yet, it is very intelligent and functional. I only hope that it won't take over the world one day.

They should've had Asimo do the robot dance. 😂😂

his walking and running is so cute

Asimo is the most advanced robot I've seen so far.

2020 : Robots dancing, humans clapping 2050 : Humans dancing, Robots clapping

Great camera work. We nearly saw everything.

The coolest robot on the planet.

If that robot throws a whoa I will die 😂😭😂

Basically robot programs depend on its objectives: asimo, for example is for household chores, while boston dynamics are for military purposes 👍😉

Vsaka vam čast, super ste !!! Srečno novo leto 2023 vam vsem želiva Konrad Konrad in moja ženka Zofka !!!!!

Very smooth action, just like animation

Asimo is the og ai Honestly, ASIMO is my favorite robot and i am going to make it my goal to meet it. someday, asimo. someday

Asimo is walking up stairs while the atlas is doing parkour

Truly enjoying your videos, very well done

I friggin love this thing. I know I'll never be able to afford one. But who knows, maybe there'll be contest to enter, to possible win one.

They seem to have deliberately made some of the Asimov's movements a little dorky so people laugh at Asimov rather than feel threatened.

His movements are so smooth that it’s getting scary

Drink game: watch this video with your friends and take a shot every time you hear "asimo"

There’s my boy! He’s grown up so fast!

The robot in blue shirt also very fluid in its mechanics

We used to think robots were a good idea, until they gained control, it was like nothing we could have ever imagined at the time

Asimo is a computer with advanced voice recognition and programmed vocal reaction. Its a computer . The REAL achievements here, folks, is in the good ol´mechanics. This is a Robot that craves immense maintenance of ALL mechanic properties . The achievement of this special form of being is ALL down to advanced low tech complex machinery . In terms of reliability regarding asimo´s functionality , it would be ALL in the hands of special highly trained mechanics to keep this piece of .... working.

As long as it looks more robot than human, I will think its cute.

They completely shut him down is so heartbreaking.

Asimo dabs on the haters at 11:09

i know it's a robot but it's just too adorable i wanna hug it lol

Asimo in 2000 = Asimo in 2018

ASIMO could play nurse to Coronavirus infected patients and deliver medicines to them like the antiviral Tamiflu. Or antibiotics like Floriquins like Cipro which is really strong stuff. As well as clean up Fukushima's nuclear power plant. ASIMO could also help Japan with it's depopulation problem. Think about it Honda.

Hurray for Asimo! :D

Esse robot é incrível.

Boston dynamics is kicking Honda’s butt. Although the hand and finger movements are interesting

He looks like me walking to get me a snack at 2 in the morning lol

Mass produce!...send to Mars and start building stuff

Plot twist, its been Warwick Davis all along

Asimo walks like it is desperately in need of a restroom.

👍. I'm disabled and this ai would greatly improve my life

Atlas by boston dynamics still seems more advanced. Asimo seems very brittle and much more prone to damage, they also need to demonstrate robustness and tolerance to robot abuse. Not to mention atlas can do back flips and run on outdoor terrains. They need to emulate human tendons and muscle to add more dexterity and flexibility than rigid mechanical pivots.

Japan has invested in education 20 years ago. Now they are far ahead of the rest of the planet.

humans doing robot dance while asimo is doing human dance

I wonder - how long does Asimo's battery pack last?

Asimo look like School boy carry Bag walking around and say hello.

Excellent

Why does Asimo's arms swing so little when running? It is natural for the arms to freely swing when a person is running. Asimo walks and runs like a burglar! LOL!! The new Asimo's movements are a lot more natural and human like. Kudos !

Can you make him look like Astro Boy? Ha ha.

I'm jealous. I wish I had a robot just as big.

When I first saw this as a kid at Disneyland, I thought it was just someone in a costume because I couldn’t believe the technology that was onstage.

Asimo is such an antiquated design. I can’t believe they’re still demoing it and still haven’t produced something that can operate in the real world.

Boston dynamics is like for an army, an this for citizen.

Honda took like 30 years of development to reach this level, while Boston Dynamics pass it in like 10.

Robot çişi gelmiş gibi yürüyor🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣I from Turkey

the next ASIMO will have a mind of it's own

I'm wondering how much is it AI to how much is it verbal command based predetermined motion.

Boston Dynamics just sipping their tea

Watch me bust a move. If your parents love you, they'll buy you "Tobor".

I am experiencing the uncanny valley with his dad jokes.

I think there is a reason why Asimo is designed to walk that way, by bending the two legs.

But can it pass Boston Dynamics *Torture Test* ? 😝

Thank You

Andytec nice robot wowow. Good to see you and your channel. New house mate here. God bless you and your family.

every time I see Asimo's curved leg, I laugh.

I know a guy in my neighbourhood who walks like that, he didn't always walk that way, actually it's a bit of a sad story he got jumped by a couple of stray Doberman dogs, they messed him up pretty badly then snatched his groceries and ran off, he's been walking that way ever since. Looks kinda creepy if you ask me.

l am really surprised that ASIMO just didn't tell everyone about all his up grades himself without the human intelligence.

To all of you comparing ASIMO to Boston Dynamics' Atlas, let me tell you that even if Atlas is much more developed than ASIMO, Atlas is not a household assistant but a normal robot. Boston Dynamics focus their research on how to make a robot just like a human. Honda is focusing on creating a household device who can help you clean, be your personal waiter and (hopefully) much more. Also, I'd rather have an ASIMO at home than an Atlas cause honestly, he's kinda creepy :)

More lifelike than Boston dynamic's bulky, noisy and abit clumsy robots. Asimo is underrated

I’m learning about this in school

Wow Asimo is very good in robotic dance

It would be really cool if these guys and Boston Dynamics collaborated together. They both have Pros but they also have cons. Boston Dynamics Works well in the diversity of robots for different tasks. But some are quite noisy and have more a jagged move ment. While these guys Only focus on Asimo and is for the home (while boston dynamics makes them for more than just home) and Asimo walks smoothly. Both need improvements which they are always working on. If they collaborated they could possibly make an even better robot. Although it probably won't happen and it may be difficult if they have different ways to make them. I love both because they make their robots look more like robots than trying to make them look like humans. Both Boston Dynamics and Honda have such good robots I cant wait to see how what they do in the future!

ASIMO is going to develop some severe back problems if he keeps walking like that

Amazing! And at this blistering pace, in about 300 years it might be capable of doing something useful! But let's not get ahead of ourselves.

"Greetings, I am the A.W.E.S.O.M.-O 4000"

Let me know when he can do the dishes and laundry. Maybe even prepare some simple food. I would totally buy one
