Key facts

Autonomous behavior control

Honda describes ASIMO's postural balancing, external recognition and autonomous behavior generation as technologies that let the robot respond to people and surrounding situations (Honda ASIMO).

Honda Robotics research direction

Honda says technologies developed through ASIMO research continue to inform robotics work, while the company focuses on applying individual functions such as leg and hand technologies (Honda Robotics).

ASIMO basic specs print 130 cm and 48 kg

Honda's ASIMO about page, basic specifications as of November 2011, prints size height 130 cm, width 45 cm, depth 34 cm, and weight 48 kg, with a note that weight decreased 6 kg from the previous model. Performance prints maximum speed 9 km/hour, with the previous model listed at 6 km/hour, and operating time 40 minutes walking, with continuous operation possible using automatic recharging. The stored autonomy-class lines are not these cells (Honda ASIMO).

ASIMO basic specs print 57 degrees of freedom

The same table prints operating degrees of freedom as head 3, arms 7 x 2, hands 13 x 2, torso 2, legs 6 x 2, and total 57 degrees of freedom, marked as an increase of 23 from the previous model. Treat the November 2011 as-of date as the page's stated snapshot, not a later production sheet (Honda ASIMO).
