Intelligence for the Humanoid Robot ASIMO: A Synthetic Approach to Understanding Principles of Processing in the Brain.
I would like to welcome you to the web site of the Honda Research Institute Europe (HRI-EU).
The Honda Research Institute Europe is one of three basic research units Honda inaugurated in a bold and foresighted move in 2003. It is our mission to contribute to the future of our society and thereby to the future of Honda by pursuing emerging technologies.
By translating principles of biological information processing systems into unique and innovative technology, the team at the Honda Research Institute Europe strives towards becoming the Centre of Excellence for Intelligent Systems Research in Honda.
The human brain demonstrates that robustness, functional autonomy and cognition in unconstrained environments are possible. Hence, an understanding of the brain is the most promising way towards the creation of intelligent systems.
In order to understand the brain, we follow an “analysis through synthesis” philosophy. We set the architectural and processing constraints for self-assembly through evolution and learning of the artificial system in interaction with the environment.
To progress from pre-programmed skills to learnt and thereby actively acquired behaviour provides us with the key for a new class of systems: systems whose architecture and dynamics provide the basis for brain-like intelligence.
I hope you enjoy this concise introduction to the work of our institute.

I believe only experimentation may help but the human model evolved for millions of years; now that does not mean it is the best of course but some parts are worth copying to technology and other we can leave out.

With increased computing power, this can only get better of course. Grasping objects takes much more than I thought.

Well it is amazing, …
Well it is amazing, we can see Asimo is learning words watching objects but how can the I.A to learn all the subcategorys of the things? and the most important, how can it knows which is in the hierarchy of the things? it could this delay this for many many years.

u watch way too much robot apocalypse movies lol

I think you’ve been watching too much Terminator.

i like it!

With the all the …
With the all the due respect, I think you have seen too much movies and TV, ASIMO is great step for the engineering, and I think you have no clue about all the good technology that is behind ASIMO.

STOP asimo, next …
STOP asimo, next level is asimo with ak-74 or railgun and killing in war. like terminator..
asimo producer looking to much terminator.
and i think the millitary has a very interessting on asimo ..

well fiction is …
well fiction is becoming a reality
0 proteus 4 , forbin project , comes to mind
proteus (demon seed movie) was a carbon copy of the human brain and functioned like one almost right to the structure of cells
1 Robby the robot ,I robot ! , Artificial intelligence Asimo(v) is close to this stage !
2 terminator 800 a litttle more bio to Asimo(v)
3 and replicant Bladerunner this stage is Asimo(v) future ! Say like Bicentenial Man !
4 is when Asimo(v) can reproduce it self !

The final and interesting outcome to this endeaver is the Battle Bot yes?

he doesn’t speak german because he’s speaking to an english audience. yes this video is available in hq

Why doesn’t he speak german? He surely is a german!

Given the …
Given the complexity of human cognition, and the challenges to producing a useful architecture (for anything, by anyone), compromise is inevitable. I’m thinking, why not converge from above, instead of below, for a better resultant compromise. Calibration constructs notwithstanding, is human intelligence really the best conceptual model? It’s impressive, but in my opinion they’ve set their sites too low. Then again, they have a robot, and I don’t, so don’t take this too seriously.

I believe this …
I believe this robot will be good by default, however, like the modification of any hardware or software, it can be reprogrammed, which might cause a major problem. Asimo seems to be heading towards commercial development, and I think each one should have unique exteriors so that they don’t get mixed up.
