Farewell to Asimo - Pride of Japanese technology was killed by Honda

Honda has just announced it will stop developing Asimo project, after 18 years .

This humanoid robot has been Japan's technological pride. However, Asimo is now quite useless, even as a tour guide. Many people believe that Honda's robots will only become an expensive toy no less.

Launched in the early 21st century, Asimo is the first robot to simulate a two-legged gait like a human. This robot has made the whole world have a different perspective on the development of technology. People who dream about believing that the future is not far away, we will be served by robots from cooking to house cleaning.

Sadly, Honda is a car and motorbike manufacturing company. They have never been serious about developing and trading robots. That's why Asimo is just like a Honda brand promotion.

When launched in 2000, Asimo was introduced as the "most advanced human-shaped robot in the world". Over 18 years of development, so far this robot has not had any improvement. Meanwhile, robot technology has made great strides.

have built robots that can walk with two feet in different types of terrain, can even balance very well when impacted. Or, robots shaped like humans, become. Along with that is the development of artificial intelligence technology and virtual assistants.

However, that does not mean Asimo is a failure of the robot industry, on the contrary it is the greatest success. It can be said that Asimo is the first robot to make us feel sympathetic, because of its friendliness and cute appearance.

Unfortunately, Honda could not do more, or did not want to do it. It would be great if Asimo could become your driver, take care of the elderly at a nursing home or make friends with children like a nanny.

Farewell Asimo, the cutest robot in the world.
