Some close-ups of Asimo’s ankle joints, tinted face shield, and knees.

The lighting was strange/futuristic and the fluid/freaky motions of Asimo made this an intriguing clip; still one of my personal favorites. Shot at one of the Robodex Expos in Yokohama, Japan.

Originally released in 2002.

Two Honda Asimo play soccer, climb stairs, and shadow box on a platform. One plays with a girl and chases her around the arena.

In the last frame, you’ll see a projection of Asimo’s vision. Something like Terminator, it registers the height, angle of the arms, and movement of a child in a computerized brain interface..

My first video of the Sony SDR-4X, now called Qrio.. And discontinued by Sony. In slow-mo to accentuate the movement.

One of the most popular clips, through the ages; created in 2000.. I’ve dubbed it Robo Chi, because it looks like the Sony is doing Tai Chi..
