Come see Asimo.
 

I just wanted make a head's up post to anyone who might be reading from the Seattle area. Honda's Asimo robot will be appearing at the Pacific Science Center on November 15 and 16 as part of a tour of North America. There will be three shows daily at 11:00, 1:00 and 3:00, and exhibit admission will be required to gain entrance.

This seems like a neat opportunity to get an up close look at the frontier of robotics.

FLL has an essay contest to get asimo demoed at your school

The last I knew that contest was only sponsered by only Honda.

ya, its honda for the fll kids to write an essay

hmm...my name is Asim

Asim---> Asimo

..interesting...:ahh:

I saw that robot (ASIMO) a month ago and I took a pic with it :) at the science centre in Toronto. (I was working there)

*is jealous*

was it awesome?

It was a great. the robot could walk up stairs, dancing and it could also stand on one foot. It weights aobut 58kg? (127Ibs) and 158 cm? tall

Hmmm... Maybee it is two separte competitions. I know of one where high school kids could write an essay and win. The topic was on humanoid robotics and there use in the future. Dam that thing is as old as I am. A lot of events related to robotics happened the year I was born. Maybe it is a coincidence.

does anyone know if there's a posted schedule for Honda's Asimo tour of North America?

here you go, hope it helps.
