Honda's ASIMO celebrates 10 years

Wow, Honda’s ASIMO is already 10 years old. Gosh, time flies. I still remember the time when Honda announced their first humanoid ASIMO. What a cool thing to look at back then when all you got is a Gundam Wing anime. To mark the occasion, Honda has rolled out a new website dedicated to the life and times of its humanoid robot. There are baby pictures, adorable stories and even a video or two to sink your teeth into, if you’re into that sort of robotic love.

ASIMO is the result of over a quarter of century of research and prototyping, and Honda hopes that one day it’ll be a huge aid in human mobility, in any field. Additionally, the Japanese company wants ASIMO to evolve into a robot that can help people in their everyday lives, potentially taking over household chores. i-Robot anyone?

If you want to check out the Honda ASIMO festivities, head over to the company’s robot-themed site. There’s even an iPhone app available for download.
