Honda's new ASIMO robot, more human-like than ever It walks and runs, even up and down stairs. It can open a bottle and serve a drink, and politely tries to shake hands with a stranger. Meet the latest ASIMO, Honda's humanoid robot. Duration: 00:54
New Honda ASIMO World's Most Advanced Humanoid Robot Running 5.5 MPH 9 kph Honda Motor Co., Ltd. today unveiled an all-new ASIMO humanoid robot newly equipped with the world's first* autonomous behavior control technology. With a further advance in autonomy, the all-new ASIMO can now continue moving without being controlled by an operator. The all-new ASIMO is now advanced from an "automatic machine" to an "autonomous machine" with the decision-making capability to determine its behavior in concert with its surroundings such as movements of people.
ASIMO has found a new home ... the happiest place on earth!
ASIMO, the world's most advanced humanoid robot, stars in its very own high-tech stage show in the Honda ASIMO Theater in Innoventions, located inside Disneyland Resort's Tomorrowland.
Science comes to life in Say 'Hello' to Honda's ASIMO, a 15-minute live show featuring the revolutionary humanoid that has captivated audiences across the globe.
This is a video you must see. If you think that robots will replace man not only in industry but in the home, you are correct. Soon these robots will be available to everyone that can afford one and will do many tasks to help the elderly, those that are disabled and so much more.
You will be amazed when you see what Asimo can do right now. Share this link with your friends, they won't believe their eyes.
The Asimo's latest edition, unveiled on April 16, can run briskly, climb stairs with ease, dance like Travolta, kick a ball and jump up in down in what can only be described as a robot tantrum.
The 4 feet tall, 115-pound robot now features five dextrous fingers on each hand with force feedback sensors. As we saw in its first North America demonstration on Wednesday, ASIMO can pick up a sealed container filled with orange juice, unscrew the top, pick up a paper up with its other hand, pour the juice and carefully set both cup and container back on the table.

During a press briefing at NASA headquarters, scientists announced that the Voyager 1 spacecraft has officially left our solar bubble and has reached interstellar space. The Space 2013 Conference in San Diego featured the presentation of a paper co-authored by NASA Associate Administrator for Human Exploration and Operations, Bill Gerstenmaier that relates past, present and proposed NASA activities off the Earth to their importance for the Earth. The traditional change of command ceremony took place on the ISS with Expedition 36 Commander Pavel Vinogradov passing the reins to fellow cosmonaut Fyodor Yurchikhin -- Commander of Expedition 37. Orbital Sciences Corporation's Cygnus cargo craft is scheduled for a September 22 arrival at the station -- based on a September 17 launch aboard the company's Antares rocket from Wallops Flight Facility. NASA Associate Administrator for Education, Leland Melvin was on hand for Rockets 2 Racecars at Richmond International Speedway to help rev up public interest about NASA missions, STEM education -- and the shared science between NASA and the auto racing industry.
A study by NASA scientists sounds a cautionary note in interpreting rings and spiral arms as signposts for new planets. Thanks to interactions between gas and dust, a debris disk may, under the right conditions, produce narrow rings on its own, no planets needed. Many young stars known to host planets also possess disks containing dust and icy grains, particles produced by collisions among asteroids and comets also orbiting the star.
On October 18th, 2013 the Lunar Laser Communication Demonstration (LLCD) made history, transmitting data from lunar orbit to Earth at a rate of 622 Mbps. LLCD, flying aboard NASA's Lunar Atmosphere and Dust Environment Explorer (LADEE), is the first NASA mission dedicated to proving high-rate, two-way laser communications is possible. LLCD not only demonstrated a record-breaking download rate but also an error-free data upload rate of 20 Mbps.

DJI Phantom 2 Quadcopter with Zenumse Gimbal - How to fly your new Quad with FPV. Available now at www.flybys.co.uk the new DJI Phantom 2 is an amazing quad capable of getting some unbelievable shots from the GoPro using a Zenmuse gimbal.
This video shows you the very basics of getting it up in the air. Make sure you check out the other videos for how to use the controller.
Test of the Turbo Ace Matrix in a remote southern California location for altitude, data and video transmission capabilities. Flight went to about 2,300 feet above ground level with excellent video and telemetry communications. On-board instruments included three temperature sensors, one being fast response, a pressure sensor and a high resolution 4-channel data logger. Movie made from a GoPro 3 Black with FPV video using a dedicated CMOS camera.
That's what HobbyKing claim for their 250 "racing" quadcopter and I have to admit that it's probably pretty good value for money if you want to get a foot in the door of the miniquad craze.
It's tough (although those feet *will* fall of when provoked) and it is good value but it's let down by a design that requires you to mount much of the hi-tech goodies on the outside -- where they're going to take some knocks and bangs.
The 3-bladed props are pretty frail (more-so than the 2-bladers) so points off for not providing at least one set of spares because you *will* break them very easily.
If you're using the KK2.1 board, make sure you dial the gains right down before you try the self-leveling mode because the stock settings will cause it to flip almost immediately.
Oh, and Parrot's got one more thing up its sleeve at tonight's CES Unveiled event, and while this one can't actually fly, it's still pretty damn neat. The company's calling it the "Sumo," for reasons that aren't immediately clear -- the "insectoid" label it's also tossing around seems a bit more appropriate, all said. The device is a two-wheeled terrestrial 'bot that's controlled via tablet or smartphone, using streaming video from a built-in camera.
