Speaking of Asimo...I saw a Honda ad for him during prime time on t.v.
earlier this week! They were talking about how he is gonna be able to take
care of people (be their eyes, ears, hands etc.). I thought this to be quite
the astonishing turn of events since my understanding was that their
(Honda's) market was gonna be Japan. I am pleased to see robotics get such a
main stream plug.
