Honda prepares robot overlords
The Yangpa has a fun post on Honda’s ASIMO* robot:
The crowd at the 2007 Auto Expo in Hiroshima, Japan, clapped politely as they watched simple tricks and exercises being performed by a prototype of the robot that will one day rule all of humanity with unfeeling ruthlessness. The demonstration, given by Honda corporation, featured the latest model of the ASIMO humanoid robot which has been under development for several years. According to Honda, the robot has been programmed to perform a variety of useful tasks, such as walking backwards, standing on one leg, and commanding an unstopple droid army to topple all existing political systems and bring them under the iron-fisted rule of Honda corporation.
* Advanced Step in Innovative MObility. Seriously.
