Heres a great guide to the latest robot’s currently in existence. Robots similar to Honda’s Asimo pictured on the right.

Asimo stands 130cm high and weighs 54 kilograms. He can walk on two feet at up to 6mph and can run round corners whilst maintaing balance. It doesn’t look to far off robots becoming a useful appliance for everyday life.

If only I could get a robot to tidy up after me….

The guide has the following robots listed

  • Asimo
  • Albert Hubo: an “Einstein” Robot
  • Stanley: the autonomous vehicle
  • BigDog: the robotic mule
  • RiSE: the climbing robot
  • QRIO: the dancing robot
  • HRP-2 Promet: the robotic butler
  • RHex: the Robotic Pooch
  • WR-07: a real Transformer
  • The Lego Robotic Bartender



Each entry has a full history, photo and a video of the robot in action, check out a quick video of Asimo in action below.
