Honda Robot on TV news?

[Malcolm Stewart]

I'm sure I recognised the red "Honda" name on the cute white robot shown with Japan's Prime Minister when he was being dined in Prague, yesterday. Anyone else see it? Bet it couldn't service my Accord though!

It was on the BBC World News and it was the Honda robot (Asimo?). I thought the handshaking routine was pretty good. Toasting with champaign needs a little work. (Maybe he had already drank a few.)

The Asimo has been around for many years. The little one is real cute, the big ones are cool too though. I can't wait to see practical application of the technology.

I shoulda known Honda would have a website for it.
