Last December, in Tokyo, Honda, dedicated to automotive, announced the completion of the first humanoid robot. The robot is autonomous in its walks and is able to perform some basic crafts. This robot, fruit of ten years of research, is powered by batteries, has a height of 1.80 meters and weighs 210 kilos.

It is shaped like an astronaut who starts jumping on the moon. You can walk, go up and down stairs, go up and down slopes, etc. It can change course and regain the pushed balance.

Thirty engineers who have formed the robot claim that this faithful servant will do dangerous and laborious work with his two hands in the future.
