The first show was at 11.30am. We took our places at about 10.55am. The crowd started to swell, and in the end it was about 300 people or so. Many came with families.
Malaysians shouldn’t let go of this opportunity to meet a real humanoid Robot. The ASIMO project started way back in 1986 until it evolved into the current design. You can read about ASIMO at Honda’s website. The amount of effort put in to make it walk properly, to able to hold things, to move as naturally as possible (but still looks like Popeye or Jar Jar Blinks to me!), just mind-bongling.
Parents should make use of this opportunity to bring their kids to meet ASIMO.
Below is a slideshow of photos taken. I took plenty of continuous shots with the D70:
The pictures are available at PICASA.
