#Engineering #Technology | #Robotics - ASIMO Want a robot to cook your dinner, do your homework, clean your house, or get your groceries? Robots already do a lot of the jobs that we humans dont want to do, cant do, or simply cant do! Rather than building a robot that would be another toy, Honda wanted to create a robot that would be a helper for people - a robot to help around the house, help the elderly, or help someone confined to a wheelchair or bed. ASIMO is 4 feet 3 inches (1.3 meters) high, which is just the right height to look eye to eye with someone seated in a chair. This allows ASIMO to do the jobs it was created to do without being too big and menacing. Often referred to as looking like a kid wearing a spacesuit, ASIMOs friendly appearance and nonthreatening size work well for the purposes Honda had in mind when creating it. ASIMO could also do jobs that are too dangerous for humans to do, like going into hazardous areas, disarming bombs, or fighting fires.
