Robot
• The answers to the 7 questions: Who,
What, When, Where, Why, How much,

 Who built this and when??
 Asimo is a product of the combined efforts
of engineers working for the company
Honda.
 The first Asimo was built in 1986 and has
been modified in time.
 The latest of these robots was designed in
2005.

 It does things that humans either can’t do

or are just too lazy to do!
 It can turn on light switches, open doors,
carry objects and even do hazardous
work.
 It was designed and built in Japan, which

Sweet! But why was it built..?
 The Asimo was built to assist humans in
their daily lives.
 It is very useful for work that is too hard for
humans.
 They were also to built to work in factories,
doing jobs like assembling cars and much
more.
 I want one!!! Do I have enough
money?
 If you are a millionaire, then you could own
one.
 The average price of a standard Asimo
robot is an estimated $1 million.
Finally, how does it work?
 Asimo can be controlled in four different

 Presentation Conclusion
 We have now come to the end of this
slideshow presentation.
