most known for its automotive industry Innovation Everywhere Honda is already, and literally, making big strides in the development of the world's first humanoid robot. Christened ASIMO, it is designed on the presumption that if a robot could walk like a human, it may be able to work like one. Honda is also taking to the skies with its very own aircraft technology. It took a 30-man team only six years to develop a prototype. Introduction Building ASIMO was an incredible challenge for Honda engineers. In addition to powerful computers and sophisticated software, ASIMO represents years of research in many scientific fields like Mathematics, Physics - the study of motion . ASIMO SPECIAL FUNCTIONS ASIMO’S SPECIFICATION Honda engineers created ASIMO with 34 Degrees of Freedom that help it walk and perform tasks much like a human.
