Newest Japanese Robot Demonstration - Asimo Is Back!

I have to admit I am a techo-geek. I love new technological gadgets and especially the ones that emulate my childhood science fiction favorites. Just a few days ago the folks at Honda held a press conference and showed off their newest version of ASIMO, the friendly little robot featured in their TV ads. In this latest version, Asimo interacts with other Asimos and does tasks such as serving lattes. The spooky thing is he even bows politely as he does it.

I certainly hope they have read "I Robot" and know the laws of robotics, otherwise we are doomed.
