>After the release, the company started to see what more the two-legged robot can do. For this purpose, they established a research center. However. Asimo was not yet very much commercialized by the company itself. Now they have decided to kill Asimo itself and use its technology to benefit mankind.
This robot, however, was famous because of its stable walk similar to that ofa human. It analyzes its surroundings using sensors and thus maintains balance. The most recent model of this human-like robot came out in 2011 which was 48 kilograms in weight and it walked approximately at a speed of9 kph.

>Asimo engineers are now busy in developing self-driving cars using artificial intelligence. Its technology is also being used in Honda's bikes. Honda is also developing a device using Asimo's walking technology. This device will support physical therapy. It will help the disabled people move their legs and help them push the ground more efficiently. However. it is seeking medical approval.
Last year. the company released a self-balancing motorcycle in the US. Moreover. the company has also started selling lawn mowing robot which can also work on uneven surfaces. It is said that the humanoid bot could also be used to handle nuclear power plants. Asimo was a robot
that had many great features in it.
Honda is now planning to focus on energy and robotios Asimo’s team will now be heading the
robotic strategies of the Honda Company.
