Honda ASIMO in Johor Bahru City Square

Posted on the November 30th, 2008 under Lifestyle by (Beaulife) Altis Lo

The lifestyle in Johor Bahru has been further delighted with the visit of Honda ASIMO between 20th and 23rd of November 2008 at City Square.

ASIMO, an acronym for Advanced Step in Innovative Mobility, is the world’s first humanoid robot that was happily to showcase its abilities in Malaysia during a road show. This road show was brought to us by Honda Malaysia Sdn Bhd. The road show in Johor Bahru City Square had created much delights to me, although I only knew it on the 23rd of November 2008, which was the last day in town. My 4-year-old son was very excited to have watched a robot with his 6-year-old sister and parents. It was started 20 minutes later than the scheduled time, I guessed it was due to the battery charging time. ASIMO needs 4 hours to fully charge the battery for 1 hour’s activities.

It is very rare of Johor Bahru citizens to have a chance to watch the live ASIMO which has the capabilities to hear, speak, walk, run, dance, kick a ball and serve beverage. The only regret was that we were unable to finish building up the paper mock up of ASIMO in 30 minutes, otherwise, we could have an opportunity to take photo with ASIMO. However, the thrill is still in our mind, and I am ready to share some photos (not very clear as I had used my camera phone which is new to me, in addition, I had yet to purchase a new battery for my digital camera).
