Honda’s ASIMO robot gets an iPhone app
November 6, 2010 by Brian
Cars manufacturer Honda released a new app called “Run with ASIMO”.
Sadly, the app is not meant for controling ASIMO, Honda’s humanoid robot.
Instead the ASIMO iPhone app… helps you exercise.
The app offers you to:
Walk through Honda’s robot development history, from 1986 when the first robot aimed at researching bipedal walking was created, to ASIMO, Honda’s latest robot.
Walk to evolve your robot to ASIMO, so you can race your ASIMO around the Suzuka circuit.
By completing one lap (5.8km) with ASIMO, you can compare your lap time with other players worldwide.
Share your results on Twitter and Facebook.
Get ready to walk (or run)! Race other players worldwide!
Yup, sounds like an useful iPhone app indeed – you can download it for free from the AppStore.
Although we really did expect something completely different from Honda…
