Asimo at Auto Africa

Published Tuesday, October 31, 2006 10:28 AM

One of the highlights of this year's Auto Africa show (and there are many - it is well worth the day out) was Honda's humanoid robot 'Asimo'. Pretty much old news now in terms of the technology and they didn't actually send the latest version, which is a big pity, but it was still fascinating to see it in real life and watch how people were emotionally drawn to the robot.

I thought it would be a good choice for my first video upload to YouTube - sorry for the shaky image, it was taken on my digital camera...

[Update : Sadly it would seem that embedded tags don't work on dotnet.org.za - you can see the vids here]

[Update 2 : Thanks Armand - working perfectly!!!]

Let me know which tags you want allowed and I'll add them to the allowed list :-) Also have a look, there might be some YouTube CSModules. If you want one of them installed send me the link!

Asimo was almost as cool as the Aston Martin's to the Honda stands right :P Must agree with you, Auto Africa is really worth a visit.

PS. Not allowing object/embed tags is not such a sad idea security wise. Will have a look what's wrong with the YouTube module this evening.

Cheers,

I meant sad for me - as someone who doesn't have to worry about the security of the site so much ;)
