Remember the Asimo? Honda first introduced
it about 15 years ago but now they are back with a better, blacker, badder
version. With a smile. A creepy, malicious smile that tells you all sorts of
weird you can imagine from a robot. And artificial intelligence laden robot
too, which could single out multiple faces and voices in a crowd. It also has
been enhanced with 13 degrees of hand dexterity and the ability to run faster,
forwards and back, jump smoothly, and climb up and down the stairs
effortlessly. It opens bottles and pours drinks like an expert and it can even
express sign language, or give you a warning signal that it’s about to take you
over. Luckily it doesn’t run faster than 5.6 MPH so it won’t be too difficult
to escape in case you deem it life threatening. However as it can also predict
and react to what’s going on around it, so it would make it a challenge to shut
it down without mastering some kick-ass martial arts moves. Just kidding. Now
smile!
