Asimo lost over 100lbs in New P4 Design 13 Years in the Making


Honda’s Asimo is probably the world’s most famous humanoid robot. The company today leaked the first technical details and pictures of the fourth version of Asimo, the P4. And the new and improved Asimo, which took 13 years for Honda to develop (P3 was unveiled in 1997), looks much more elegant and human astronaut-like than the previous models.

Standing 160cm tall, Asimo is probably only second in height to “tower robot” Tsutenkaku. P4 is as tall as P3, but Honda managed to reduce his weight from 130kg to 80kg. He now has 34 joints (two more joints in each hand than P3) and is said to be able to dance better than his predecessors (“dancing” was always one of Asimo’s special skills).

  1. Nice blog! here i want sharing about ecu chip, Diesel Tuning Chips or ECU Remaps generally have to be carried out by a specialist in a workshop, although mobile services also exist.
    As they are usually altering the programming of the existing ecu chip, they take no additional space in the engine and no consideration needs to be given to location or wiring.
    ECU remaps require the chip to be replaced, which is normally a specialist operation...
