Honda has unveiled an all-new ASIMO humanoid robot with a world-first technology allowing ASIMO to move without being controlled by an operator. With significantly improved intelligence and the physical ability to adapt to situations, ASIMO has taken another step closer to practical use in an office or public space.
Honda has also introduced a new task-performing robot arm. This experimental model was developed while applying multi-joint and posture control technologies to ASIMO. This robot arm can be controlled remotely to perform tasks in places which are difficult for people to access.

Back in May (we've only just come across this news), Honda Asimo was the unlikely conductor at the Detroit Symphony Orchestra in the United States. The performance was met with enthusiastic shouts from the audience as it took a final bow.
An amazing technical feat by Honda.
