Technical Robot

I came up with the idea of an Artificial Intelligence, due to the fact thaturl i like the idea of a robot that can assist you and keep you safe without the fear of walking alone.

Scientists from Honda have created; over many years of research (1986 – ) A robot called ASIMO, this robot does’t have a will of its own but it is aware of it surroundings  through advanced coding that sends information to the camera, commanding the robots movements. It all started with Masato Hirose (the Chief Engineer of Honda R&D) when he applied for a job at Wako research lab; which performs research in four main areas, such as aircrafts, gas turbines, lightweight/ driverless automobiles and of course robots. When Hirose was hired he was sent to the project described as a dream of the Honda, but we know it as ASIMO. The dream was to create a two legged assisting machine, that can keep the lonely in company and help the many, however for Hirose, it was a long and unrealistic dream. Every test the machine would take its first step and topple over, but Hirose never gave in and eventually the prototype E1 was completed, it was the start but still not enough as the machine would walk at a slower pace than a person would, sending Hirose back to the drawing boards. He began to study the walking cycle of every being that could walk, from animals, super models to sumo wrestlers and even turned his associates into mummies, learning which part of their body would contributed to walking with each step. After learning the complexity of walking, Honda was finally able to create a robot with dynamic movement, that could shift its center of gravity. In 1996 Honda announced their development and research on the humanoid robots, and in 2000 ASIMO was introduced live in Aoyama, Tokyo. The Journalists cried out in surprise, amazed when the small robot walk out onto the stage beside the president of Honda Motor, Hiroyuki Yoshino.
