Movies and TV have exposed us to the ideas of robots for years and I think the technology behind them is interesting. Honda has one of the most advanced robots called ASIMO that can help with disabled people and do things around the home. It can also help in office situations. There is a website that describes the robot, how it works and the technology behind it. I think it would be fun to learn more about these things!

Hey Danielle! I checked out the website for Asimo and the robot is pretty remarkable. I was listening to the radio this morning and a remark was made that referenced "Lost In Space". You are probably too young to even remember the re-runs, but it had a robot on it who was famous for alerting the young boy, Will, to any danger (Warning! Warning! Danger Will Robinson!) Anyway, it is funny looking at the 1960's version of a robot in comparison to the 2011 version.
ReplyDeleteI remember when ASIMO first came out, I was going to EEC for my first degree. Back then the robot just ran from one end of the room to the other. I've looked at the website and it looks like ASIMO has really came a long way.
